On July 9, CVSA submitted comments on the NPRM to remove the requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations that a liquid fuel tank manufactured on or after Jan. 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% of the tank’s liquid capacity. The published NPRM was a response to a petition for rulemaking from CVSA. CVSA shared support for removing the language, which is outdated and no longer applicable to the current state of the industry.
