    Excellent progress. Technically great.  Make sure it is "user friendly" to read and understand how the benefits make the process worthwhile, and you have a winner, in my opinion.

    Hi Leonard, 

    We (Anne Zachos and I) have reviewed the draft and had some cybersecurity-focused feedback. Please see the attached copy with changes-tracked.

    Overall, the feedback and edits stem from the fact that so many devices installed in trucks today have non-volatile data storage and the contents stored there may contain business-sensitive information. I think the checklist already had items that realized this fact -- we just tried to make it more comprehensive.

    Best Regards, 

    Ben Gardiner

    Regarding defueling of CNG vehicles - this should only be done if the vehicle is being scrapped.  if it is being sold/transferred, it would be rendered disabled if all fuel was removed. 

    I would add that the last fuel system inspection document/record should be included with the paperwork transferred with the vehicle.

    Thank you for that clarification regarding the defueling of CNG vehicles.

    Including the most recent fuel system inspection record with the transfer paperwork is also a great recommendation.

    That documentation will provide transparency, support compliance, and ensure the next owner has accurate maintenance history on the CNG system.

    Thank you for the input!!
