Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Fuel Tank Overfill Restriction

2 organizations filed 2 public comments on Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Fuel Tank Overfill Restriction, at the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The comment window closed 364d ago.

Abstract

FMCSA proposes to remove the requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) that a liquid fuel tank manufactured on or after January 1, 1973, be designed and constructed so that it cannot be filled, in a normal filling operation, with a quantity of fuel that exceeds 95 percent of the tank’s liquid capacity. This proposal is in response to a petition for rulemaking from the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance. The proposed change would remove an unnecessary and outdated requirement from the FMCSRs.
