How long can CNG cylinders be released for trial use?

CNG cylinders will be scrapped automatically after three years' stoppage. If the stoppage is less than three years, annual inspection can be conducted, but a fine of 50-200 yuan will be paid. The annual inspection time of CNG cylinders is different in different regions. Most CNG cylinders do not need to be inspected in the first three years after installation, and they need to be inspected once a year thereafter.

The service life of CNG cylinders can reach about 15 years. Generally speaking, operating vehicles need to be scrapped in 10 years. Usually, you need to pay attention to whether the rubber gasket of CNG cylinders is damaged, and replace it in time if it is damaged.
