USA PRO vehicle gas detection systems for industrial applications: buses, trucks, off road, and bus jitneys, etc are a few of the vehicle applications. We provide only systems and components that meet all codes and standards such as: NFPA 52-2010, SAE J2343-2009, and California Highway Patrol CAL Title 13-2008.

Vehicle gas detection should be used for the following automotive vehicle fuel applications: LNG, CNG, Propane, Hythane, and Hydrogen. Some gases are odorized, but we believe that this practice does not represent adequate safety when considering the risk and potential results of a potential fire or explosion. Odorized fuels are utilized in pipelines; using odorized gases in automotive applications as primary safety offers far more safety challenges. Too much dependence must be placed on the driver, the passengers and, in some cases, school children to provide emergency measures. Gas leaks are migratory and cannot be controlled. The engine compartment is filled with multiple sources of ignition; drivers need to be health tested daily for the presence of cold, hay fever, or if taking any type of medication. The medical issues and if the driver is a smoker, they are less likely to be able to smell leaking gas at explosive or fire levels of 5-15% LEL.

Regulations are seldom are up to date due to the process. If you are following local regulations only, your information may be years behind the true safety curve. Alternate fuels for automotive applications are infamous for being behind the times for safety in industrial automotive applications. Odorized fuel for industrial applications, buses, trucks, etc. do not represent the necessary level of safety for this application.

Vehicle early warning panels are a must for safety. Every gaseous powered vehicle should have the panel with the red, green, and loud audible so that the driver is made aware of the problem prior to entering the vehicle, as well as when driving the vehicle. Please refer to our gas panel or fire panel sections.
