Delafield Corporation is in the process of repairing flaws in the system that include leaks and faulty valves that appeared soon after the buses were delivered.
The OCTA is the 19th-largest transit agency in the United States. It handled about 60 million riders last year on 79 routes. The OCTA has 523 buses in its fleet.
In March of this year, the OCTA formed a technical team to investigate the buses faulty systems and discovered problems with recurring leaks in fittings and valves, malfunctioning vaporizers that were sending liquid fuel into the engines, failing methane detectors, and malfunctioning fuel tanks. Thus far the OCTA has spent $100,000 to replace leaking fuel pipes and had to redesign the entire fuel delivery system.
