Luxfer Gas Cylinders has announced the first delivery of its new
G-Stor® Go polymer-lined, carbon composite Type 4 cylinders for

new line of cylinders at the ACT Expo tradeshow in Long Beach,
Calif., in May.

The initial sale was to Heartland Energy Options, an
Oklahoma-based company that specializes in converting vehicles to
run on natural gas. The company operates facilities in Oklahoma
City and Elk City. Ford Motor Company recently certified Heartland
as a qualified vehicle modifier (QVM), and Heartland is converting
Ford F-Series full-size pickup trucks into bi-fuel vehicles that
will run on either gasoline or CNG.
Heartland is using 22-inch-diameter G-Stor Go cylinders built
around a proprietary aluminum boss and a seamless, high-density
polymer liner fully wrapped with aerospace-grade carbon fiber in an
epoxy matrix. Mark Lawday, Luxfer’s business development director
for the alternative fuel (AF) market, said: “Our lightweight G-Stor
Go cylinders are designed to deliver the highest levels of
performance and gas retention while offering an optimal balance
between weight and durability.”
Justin Steckman, Heartland general manager, said: “Luxfer was
able to provide us the high-quality cylinders we needed in a very
short time.”
Lawday noted that Luxfer is in the process of expanding its Type
4 product line to include cylinders up to 26 inches in diameter in
a variety of lengths, including cylinders for class 8 heavy-duty
trucks. Luxfer began manufacturing 26-inch-diameter cylinders in
mid-July.
Luxfer is currently manufacturing Type 4 cylinders at its
factory in Riverside, Calif. In the near future, the G-Stor Go
product line will also be made at a recently acquired Type 4
facility in Brigham City, Utah. In addition to cylinders, Luxfer
offers a comprehensive line of accessories and mounting hardware,
including valves, pressure-relief devices, and mounting blocks and
straps.
