The pressure relief pipeline is divided into automatic pressure relief (the safety valve is opened to release pressure) and manual pressure relief. When the gas cylinder is installed on the vehicle, the outlet of the pressure relief pipeline shall be connected to a safe location for discharge. When the vehicle is parked, the pressure relief pipe shall also meet the requirements of 10.8c).
