Concerned that compressed natural gas tanks in customers’ vehicles might not be sufficiently safe, Pacific Gas & Electric is requiring inspections as a condition of continued use of the company’s filling stations. PG&E says vehicle fuel cylinders must be inspected by certified technicians and the reports turned in by Dec. 12. The firm’s website says the notice was approved by California’s Public Service Commission, and “failure to meet the deadline will result in suspension of your fueling account.”
