What is one method to check for leaks in CNG fuel systems after installation?

  1. Use ammonia-based soap solution

  2. Use a non-ammonia soap solution

  3. Leave connections unsealed

  4. Use only visual inspection

The correct answer is: Use a non-ammonia soap solution

Using a non-ammonia soap solution is a reliable method to check for leaks in CNG fuel systems after installation because it provides a clear indication of escaping gas. When applied to the connections and fittings, the soap solution will create bubbles in the presence of gas leaks, allowing for easy identification of any problem areas. Ammonia-based soaps can corrode certain metals and might not be safe for use in systems involving CNG, which is why non-ammonia solutions are preferred. They ensure that the integrity of the components is maintained and that the leak detection process is effective without introducing the risk of chemical damage. Other methods, such as leaving connections unsealed or relying solely on visual inspection, are inadequate because they do not provide a reliable means of detection. Leaving connections unsealed poses safety risks and allows gas to escape, while visual inspections could easily miss small leaks that a soap solution would detect effectively.
