Committee Statement
Committee To provide consistency between the tables in NFPA 54 and NFPA 58 to avoid
Statement: confusion among users. The new table 15.1(n) is extracted from NFPA 54 with a
change to allow it to be used with inlet pressures of 5-10 psig instead of 5 psig.
NFPA 54 has the same table which is limited to 5 psig due to the scope of NFPA 54
covering a 5 psig maximum. This will result in a small over sizing of the tubing at
pressures over 5 psig.

EHD: Equivalent hydraulic diameter. A measure of the relative hydraulic efficiency between
different tubing sizes. The greater the value of EHD, the greater the gas capacity of the tubing.
Notes:
(1) Table does not include effect of pressure drop across the line regulator. Where regulator loss
exceeds 1⁄2 psi (based on 13 in. w.c. outlet pressure), do not use this table. Consult with regulator
manufacturer for pressure drops and capacity factors. Pressure drops across a regulator may vary
with flow rate.
(2) CAUTION: Capacities shown in table may exceed maximum capacity for a selected
regulator. Consult with regulator or tubing manufacturer for guidance.
(3) Table includes losses for four 90 degree bends and two end fittings. Tubing runs with larger
number of bends and/or fittings shall be increased by an equivalent length of tubing according to
the following equation: L = 1.3n, where L is additional length (ft) of tubing and n is the number
of additional fittings and/or bends.
(4) All table entries are rounded to 3 significant digits.

Committee Statement
Committee This proposal was developed through a collaborative effort that included codes and
Statement: technical experts, manufacturers of propane autogas vehicles and equipment, and
members of the NPGA's Technology, Standards and Safety Committee. It reflects
the consensus of those companies and individuals as being a good first step
towards modernizing NFPA 58 in the area of propane engine fuel system
technologies. Accepting this proposal will allow the propane industry and authorities
having jurisdiction a tool to better apply NFPA 58 to modem engine fuel
technologies. Since this proposal was developed in response to Committee Input
No. 72, there is no need to go into detail regarding the justification for its submittal.
However there are some things that should be pointed out, namely: 1. A reference is
made to European standard ECE R67.01 in paragraph 12.4.1.6. This standard will
be studied to determine whether this standard can be referenced as an alternate to
the performance standards that are referenced in proposed Chapter 12 and
elsewhere in NFPA 58. It is expected that NPGA representatives will share the
results of this study with NFPA technical committee members at the August 4-5
meeting, if not before. 2. Correlative work with existing requirements in Chapters 6
and 11 is being addressed by others and those comments should be available to
technical committee members already for consideration at the August meeting. This
proposal will provide a solid foundation for the future work and development of
Chapter 12 as we strive to achieve the best possible fire safety requirements for
propane autogas fuel systems.

Proposed Revisions to
Public Comment No. 106
Chapter 12 - Motor Vehicles Intended for Over-the-Road Use or Designed to Transport

Passengers and are Fueled by LP-Gas
12.1 Scope.
12.1.1* This chapter applies to the design, installation, operation and maintenance of LP-Gas
fuel system components and ASME containers installed on motor vehicles intended for on-road
use, where LP-Gas is used for the engine propulsion of the vehicle.
A.12.1.1 The need for a new chapter to address over-the-road vehicles became apparent when
the requirements in NFPA 58 were no longer in step with the technologies that modern LP-Gas
fuel systems now utilize.
12.1.2 This chapter shall not apply to vehicles qualified under the U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (FMVSS).
12.1.3 This chapter shall not apply to LP-Gas systems used on boats.
12.1.4 Where the term “LP-Gas” is used, the requirements of this chapter include and apply
equally to any material that is composed predominantly of any of the following hydrocarbons or
a mixture of them: LP-Gas, propylene, butane (normal butane or isobutane), and butylenes.
12.2 Definitions.
Distribution Block. Connection point between the fuel line and fuel rail that may also include
connection for other devices such as but not limited to pressure or temperature sensing.
Direct Injection. A fuel injection system that delivers LP-Gas fuel through a fuel injector,
directly into the combustion chamber at high pressures, as opposed the injection of fuel into the
intake manifold air flow stream, up stream of and prior to the intake valve opening
Fuel Switching Device. A component used in some direct injections systems which is used to
switch between fuels of a bi-fuel powered vehicle.
Fuel rail. A manifold, pipe or duct that connects or retains the fuel injection devices for the
purpose of providing fuel supply to each injector.
Manifold ASME Container. An ASME container that consists of two or more interconnected
containers that are fabricated by the original manufacturer and that are connected by rigid,
integral, non-removable liquid and vapor passages and braced to form a single rigid unit, and
certified under ASME Section VIII as a single pressure vessel.
Power Supply Bushing. A sealed fitting that is installed in a container opening, or multi-function
valve body, that seals conductors passing from the inside to the outside of the pressure vessel for
the purposes of supplying electrical signals or operating voltage to electrical/electronic
components located inside the pressure containment area of an ASME container.
Pre-Start Purge Mode. A process whereby a mechanical or electro-mechanical device is used to
permit fuel flow through the engine supply and return lines, generally on fuel injection systems,
to ensure all vapor is removed from the lines prior to engine start.
Purge Valve. A mechanical or electro-mechanical device used to permit fuel flow through the
engine supply and return lines, generally on fuel injection systems, to ensure all vapor is
removed from the lines prior to engine start.
Uni-body. A vehicle with a frame and body which are constructed as a single assembly that does
not have a separate frame on which the body is mounted.
1
12.3 Commissioning Vehicles.
12.3.2 The vehicle owner or operator shall be instructed in the basic operations of the LP-Gas
fuel system in order to safely operate an LP-Gas vehicle.
12.3.3 The basic operating and maintenance instructions for the vehicle shall be provided to the
user.
12.3.4 Each vehicle shall have an owner’s manual that provides the following minimal
information:
(1) A description of the specific fuel system installed, with component locations
indicated
(2) A description of the safety and emergency valves, and how to operate them
(3) Basic maintenance intervals in either months or miles; and
(4) Any specification special maintenance items (oils, lubricants, filters, etc.) unique
to the LP-Gas fuel system that are different from those defined in the
basic vehicle maintenance manual.
12.3.5 All LP-Gas fueled motor vehicles shall be identified by a weather-resistant diamond-
shaped label affixed to its exterior vertical, or near vertical, lower right rear surface, but not
attached to its bumper.
(1) The label shall be approximately 4-3/4 in (120 mm) wide by 3-1/4 in (83 mm)
high.
(2) The label marking shall consist of a border and the word “PROPANE” in letters
not less than 1 in (25 mm) in height, centered in the diamond, of silver or white
reflective luminous material on a black background.
12.4 ASME Containers, Materials and Equipment.

12.4.1 General.
12.4.1.2 Materials in contact with LP-Gas shall be compatible with LP-Gas and recommended by
the manufacturer for their intended service.
12.4.1.3 Valves, accessories, components, equipment, or materials used in any installation shall
be of a type and rating recommended by the manufacturer for their intended purpose.
12.4.1.4 Alternative methods and materials are permitted where approved in accordance with
Section 1.5.
12.4.1.5 A cylinder (see 3.3.17) shall not be utilized as a permanent container to supply fuel to an
LP-Gas vehicle engine.
A.12.4.1.5 Cylinders are permitted to be used temporarily for the purposes of shipping a vehicle,
transporting it between assembly lines/areas, or for testing the vehicle.
12.4.1.6 Where the materials and equipment referred to in this chapter are not addressed by any
standards referenced in this code, the requirements of ECE R67.01 shall be used to evaluate
those materials and equipment.
(1) Evaluations and testing shall be performed by an approved testing laboratory.
(2) Cold weather testing shall be performed at a temperature no warmer than -40F.
A.12.4.1.6 ECE R67.01 is one of the most commonly used standards in the world for the
approval and installation of equipment used in LP-gas vehicle fuel systems. Where no
performance or specification standard is referenced in NFPA 58 for materials or equipment
within the scope of Chapter 12, NFPA 58 will defer to the requirements in R67.01. Compliance
to R67.01 is demonstrated by a homologation report issued by a country who is signatory to the
2
UN standards. A list of these countries can be found in Annex 3 of this
document http://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trans/main/wp29/wp29resolutions/ECE-
TRANS-WP29-78-r3e.pdf
The reason for specifying cold weather testing to at least -40F is due to the fact that R67.01
requires testing to only -20F, which is not sufficient to provide assurance of safe performance in
many locations in North America. The choice of -40F was based on the fact that other standards
already referenced in NFPA 58 use that temperature for cold weather testing.

ANNEXES
Annex: A Suggested Container Purging Procedure
In accordance with section 12.4.2.4, all containers that have had their interiors exposed to the
atmosphere (that would occur during a service valve change), shall be purged of air and other
contaminants. The following methods have been found to be effective.
Vapor Purge Method:
1. Perform this procedure in a well-ventilated, non-enclosed area.

2. Do not perform this procedure within 35 feet of ignition sources.
3. Caution – This purging method must be followed precisely on containers using internal
electronics/electrical circuits to ensure that a combustible mixture of fuel and air cannot
be present before energizing electrical circuits.
4. Position the container so that a manually operated (non-electrically operated/solenoid)
valve, installed within the vapor space, is at the top most portion of the container or in the
highest portion of a manifold ASME container.
5. Using a regulated LP-Gas vapor source, introduce 20 psig of LP-Gas vapor into the
container.
6. Allow the pressure to stabilize for approximately 5 minutes.
7. Release the gas until the pressure is between 3 psig and 5 psig, in accordance with local
hydrocarbon emissions regulations and 7.3.1.
8. Repeat the process a minimum of 5 times, to ensure that almost all of the air has been
removed from the container, and the moisture content has been reduced.
9. Close the manual valve to prevent re-entry of moisture and air.
Vacuum Purging Method
1. Use a hose suitable for vacuum service to connect a compressor to the ASME container.
2. Ensure that any protective caps for appurtenances are in place and tightened.
3. Open the service valve and run the compressor to reduce the pressure in the ASME
container to 26 in. mercury vacuum.
4. Close the service valve and disconnect the compressor.

Committee Statement
Committee The most recent edition of ASTM 02513 is corrected, and a new ASTM standard
Statament: for polyamiide is added. Requirements for polyamide are needed because it is used
in risers. This reflects that the current edition of ASTM 02513 had deleted all
polyamide. This has been confirmed by a plastics piping consultant. The latest
edition of ASTM E119 has been included. The committee requests staff to ensure
the most recent edition of all ASTM documents to be utilized.

Committee Statement
Committee High flow extinguishers should not be required. It takes special training to operate
Statement: them and most people (for example, convenience stores that have exchange
cabinets) will not have that training. There will be no increase in safety and a large
expense incurred to change out all the fire extinguishers. Additionally, a survey of
propane companies that will be forced to upgrade their extinguishers indicates that in
some cases there would be a 40% to60% increase in the cost of the extinguisher.
When that factor is combined with the retroactivity provision being proposed, the
cost to the industry would total several millions of dollars and the payback in safety
benefits would be is virtually nil.
Also, the report titled "Ordinary People and Effective Operation of Fire
Extinguishers," published by Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Eastern Kentucky
University describes the use of fire extinguishers by the general public. The report is
available for free download at the following website:
http://www.femalifesafety.org/docs/wpistudyfinal.pdf. What may be surprising in the

report is that the general public performed quite well using fire
extinguishers with virtually no training. That performance improved markedly after

receiving some training. But the real surprise is that the flow rates of the
extinguishing equipment being used were just a fraction of the 1.0 lb. per second
being proposed in Section 4.7 of NFPA 58. Calculations based on the equipment

used in the demonstration
show that the flow rate of extinguishing material was between 0.13 and 0.15 pounds
per second.
Therefore, the proposed change to require high flow rate extinguishers is simply not
justified by either the cost/benefit ratio for making the change or by independent
research on the use of fire extinguishers by the general public.

Committee Statement
Committee Discussions at the first revision meeting determined that the issue of filling and
Statement: ground transportation of containers used in hot air balloons begs for inclusion in the
code. Otherwise, filling of these containers presents a dilemma to propane dealers
of whether or not to fill. There was also a situation of an inspector who was
concerned about the non-inclusion of these containers in the code, causing the
cessation of filling containers and the interruption of a balloon festival. Discussions
with hot air balloon pilots since the first revision meeting shed a great deal of
information about the filling of these containers. The FAA does approve these
containers and that approval can be determined from the flight log for each aircraft.
Adding information about containers for hot air balloons and for filling the containers
will help both the propane industry and the hot air balloon community. The
committee added designation to clarify which CFR was applicable for DOT cylinders
as opposed to FAA containers.

Committee The committee rejected the proposal to delete 5.9.6.3 stating that the requirement is
Statement: used by AHJ's to inspect hose that may have deteriorated over time.
This reason ignores the application of Chapter 5 to LP-Gas equipment and

appliances. Operations and maintenance are included in Chapter 14, Operations and
Maintenance. Further it is noted that 5.9.6.4 -the next paragraph- provides
standards for hose operation at greater than 5 psig. With standards specified there is
no reason to require approval of hose operating at 5 psig and higher.
The recommendation to delete the requirement in PI 208 is still valid, however the
recommendation here is to modify the paragraph to reflect that it is excessively
broad. The committee could elect to either delete the requirement, or to provide
guidance on hose inspection in chapter 14.

Committee Statement
Committee Table 6.5.2.1 addresses the distance requirements for dispensers and fill
Statement: connections to containers and to containers for Class I flammable liquids and Class
II combustible liquids. Paragraph 6.25.4.3 addresses the distance requirements for
dispensing devices as they relate to Class I liquids as well as an exemption for
reducing the distances with low emission transfers. It is confusing to have these
distance requirements in different sections for different classes of liquids,
particularty when the distance requirements are the same for both classes of liquids
for dispensers, fill connections on containers and to containers. This causes
potential confusion and problems of interpretation in the field.
After researching the origins of note c to Table 6.5.2.1, (the reduction of separation
distances by 50% goes back to the 1998 edition), it appears this was an editorial
mistake. Comment 58-37 from the F97 ROC shows that the note was not intended
to apply to the first line of the table. The note first began to appear to Line A of the
table in the 2001 edition, however, there is nothing in either the ROP or the ROC to
support that change. Therefore, it's reasonable to conclude that the NFPA editors
made a mistake in assigning the note to Line A, so we are proposing to delete
reference to Note c in Part A of Table 6.5.2.1.

Committee A mistake was made by NFPA in recording the action of the Technical Committee
Statement: on P.l. No. 222. The quantity of force should be changed from 12,000 to 6,000 as
recorded in
the Committee Statement for P.l. No. 222: "The requirement in 6.25.3.13(8) was
revised to reflect the results of a recent research project funded and published by
the
Propane Education and Research Council. The research determined that neither the
12,000pound load factor nor the 30-inch height for load application specified in
Section
6.25.3.13 (B) is based on U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) design criteria.

Instead, only the 30-inch barrier height above finished grade was reportedly sourced
from
DOT requirements."
In view of the difficulty staff has in manipulating the Terra software, it is certainly
not unexpected that errors like this could occur. Thankfully, this one was caught and
is easily correctable.
