GFV \| Session 28 \| 12 Sep 2013		23. Brief report on LNG-TF amendment on Automatic Valve (GFV 28-06) Mr. Seisler explained that there was a question from the Dutch delegation about the use of an automatic valve mounted on an LNG tank, specified in the amendments to R.110. After much discussion among the LNG Task Force principals it was agreed to provide an amendment to the LNG regulations specifying the need for an automatic shutoff valve on each LNG tank, directly at the fuel outlet so that there is no chance of LNG being captured in any of the piping network outside of the fuel tank. Adoption of this resolution should be concluded at the October 2013 GRPE and will move forward to the WP 29 as part of the proposed and approved amendments.
