EcoFuel Natural Gas Drive in Touran and Caddy
Natural Gas Supply
Thermal release
The thermal release is also part of the tank shut-off
valve module.
Task
It prevents the natural gas tanks bursting if the
pressure rises excessively because of high
temperatures. The thermal release is installed in such
a way that direct release of the natural gas into the
atmosphere is possible.

How it works
S373_015
Thermal release
The main part of the thermal release is a small glass
tube containing a fluid that seals the gas leak.
At temperatures above 110 °C, the liquid in the glass
tube will expand and cause it to burst.
The gas outlet can now open. The natural gas escapes
from the natural gas tanks into the atmosphere and
can be released there in a controlled manner without,
for example, a backflash occurring or the natural gas
tanks bursting due to high temperatures if the vehicle
is on fire.

Manual shut-off tap
Shut-off tap
(without han d wheel)
The mechanical shut-off tap allows you to close the
natural gas tank manually with a tool so it is gas-tight.
For safety reasons, this is necessary whenever the
natural gas tank is removed or fitted again.
The drainage channel for the thermal release is
also open when the shut-off tap is closed for safety
reasons.

Natural Gas Supply
From high pressure to low pressure
Gas pressure regulator
The gas pressure regulator is mounted on the
longitudinal member at the front right of the engine
compartment.
Task
The gas pressure regulator has the task of
reducing the natural gas pressure from 200bar to
approx. 6bar.
The relaxation of the natural gas occurs in the gas
pressure regulator in a single pressure reduction
stage.
It thus separates the high-pressure side of the natural
gas system from the low-pressure side.

The reduction stage on the gas pressure regulator consists of:
- the high-pressure chamber with regulating piston
- the low-pressure chamber with mechanical excess pressure valve
- the diaphragm disc
- the spring
