Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations — 301.1
301.1 (1) Subject to subsections (3) and (3.1), a vehicle that is equipped with a fuel system that uses LPG as a source of energy for its propulsion shall meet the requirements of subsection (2) when tested in accordance with Test Method 301.1 — LPG Fuel System Integrity (February 28, 2004), (a) in the case of a vehicle with a GVWR of 4 536 kg or less, (i) by the vehicle impacting a fixed collision barrier that is at any angle of up to 30° in either direction to the perpendicular to the vehicle’s line of travel while the vehicle is travelling longitudinally forward at any speed up to and including 48 km/h, (ii) by a collision barrier travelling at 48 km/h impacting the vehicle from the rear, and (iii) by a collision barrier travelling at 32 km/h impacting the vehicle laterally on either side; and (b) in the case of a vehicle with a GVWR of more than 4 536 kg, by a moving contoured barrier assembly travelling at any speed up to and including 48 km/h impacting the vehicle at any point and any angle. (1.1) Instead of being tested in accordance with subparagraph (1)(a)(ii), a vehicle referred to in subsection (1) may be tested in accordance with paragraph S6.2(b) of TSD 301, except the fuel spillage requirements, under the applicable conditions set out in sections 3.2 to 3.4 of Test Method 301.1 – LPG Fuel System Integrity (February 28, 2004) and paragraph S7.3(b) of TSD 301. (1.2) Instead of being tested in accordance with subparagraph (1)(a)(iii), a vehicle referred to in subsection (1) may be tested in accordance with paragraph S6.3(b) of TSD 301, except the fuel spillage requirements, under the applicable conditions set out in sections 3.2 to 3.4 of Test Method 301.1 – LPG Fuel System Integrity (February 28, 2004) and paragraph S7.2(b) of TSD 301. (1.3) [Repealed, SOR/2014-307, s. 25] (2) When a vehicle is tested in accordance with subsection (1), (1.1) or (1.2), (a) fuel spillage from the fuel system after each impact from the moment of the impact until one-half hour after motion of the vehicle ceases shall not exceed 142 g; (b) the temperature-corrected pressure in the high-pressure portion of the fuel system shall not decrease to less than 95 per cent of the initial system pressure during the one-half hour period after motion of the vehicle ceases; and (c) the fuel container shall remain attached to the vehicle at a minimum of one attachment point. (3) Instead of complying with subsections (1) and (2), a vehicle, other than a school bus, that is equipped with a fuel system that uses LPG as a source of energy for its propulsion may comply with the requirements respecting the approval of valves, components and accessories, and the requirements respecting the installation of propane fuel systems and tanks on highway vehicles, set out in the version of CSA Standard B149.5, Installation code for propane fuel systems and tanks on highway vehicles (CSA B149.5), that is in effect 48 months before the date of the last manufacturing operation performed by the manufacturer who installed the fuel system, as shown on the manufacturer’s information label, or the date of manufacture of the completed vehicle, as shown on the compliance label, or a more recent version of that Standard, except that the following requirements do not apply: (a) any requirement to obtain an approval from an authority responsible for the enforcement of CSA B149.5 or from an inspection agency of a province or territory; (b) any requirement for the inspection or re-qualification of a fuel system or tank after the main assembly of the vehicle has been completed; and (c) the requirements respecting the servicing, parking and display of vehicles indoors set out in CSA B149.5. (3.1) A three-wheeled vehicle that is equipped with a fuel system that uses LPG as a source of energy for its propulsion shall comply with the standards referred to in subsection (3). (4) A manufacturer of a vehicle that is equipped with a fuel system that uses LPG as a source of energy for its
