What is the first way to minimize collision damage for fuel supply installation?

Mount cylinders that protrude beyond the sides of the vehicle
Install cylinders securely to minimize collision damage
Place cylinders on top of the vehicle
Have cylinders exposed for visibility

The correct answer is: Install cylinders securely to minimize collision damage

The most effective way to minimize collision damage for fuel supply installations, particularly when dealing with compressed natural gas cylinders, is to install the cylinders securely. Proper installation ensures that the cylinders are adequately anchored to the vehicle, reducing the risk of movement, dislodgment, or potential rupture during a collision. This secure installation can absorb and dissipate the forces experienced during an impact, effectively protecting both the vehicle and the gas cylinders themselves. When cylinders are installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications and safety guidelines, they are less likely to become hazards in the event of a crash, thus enhancing overall safety for the vehicle occupants and other road users. In contrast, mounting cylinders that protrude or placing them on top of the vehicle increases their vulnerability to impact, while having them exposed creates additional risks of damage. Therefore, secure installation is fundamental to ensuring maximum safety and minimizing collision damage.
