This is probably what will occur. Like filling your propane bottle. The attendant will check to see if it is in date, and reject it if it has expired. I can't see the dealership turning down the opportunity to "service" your fuel cell car. Bill D. On 9/11/2021 10:48 AM, John Lussmyer via EV

"Fatigue" is the answer to your question. When you repeatedly stress materials, minute flaws grow and result in failures.  Filling and emptying the pressure vessel results in a fatigue cycle, and will eventually result in failure of a highly stressed part. You can bend a coat hanger in half

What happens to Mirai tanks that have been refueled 300K to 500K without a tank change? Do they pose a danger to the general driving public? Today, as an aside, I drove my Model 3 90 miles at 65 mph with the equivalent of 3 adults in the car, AC running, and averaged over 5 miles per kwh. I was

Also, H2 is VERY good at escaping things. The atoms are so small. So while this means it's hard to build a perfect containment system for it, it also means that if you only have a very small leakit's hard to build up in a normal (not passive house level of sealing) building, as it can
