Flange Assembly
The flange assembly (Figure 85) is designed for 20,685 kPa (3,000 psi) service pressure and is the refueling connection to fill the vehicle. The assembly
is mounted behind the fuel filler door and attached to the fuel filler housing, similar to a gasoline vehicle. This assembly consists of an NGVP1 type
receptacle with a 150 micron filter (which can be serviced), a spring loaded check valve to allow filling of the vehicle and a manually opened bypass to
provide safe venting of the fuel system. The vehicle is refueled by attaching the fuel station fill nozzle to the receptacle and locking into place.
