Compressed Natural Gas, commonly referred to as CNG, is a clear, odourless, non-corrosive gas that can be used as a cheaper, cleaner and more efficient alternative to the traditional fuels like petrol and diesel used in vehicles. The gas is compressed so sufficient fuel can be stored within the vehicle to extend the driving range. There are many benefits to using CNG in your vehicles, these include.
The maintenance cost of your vehicle will be cut down since there can be longer periods between tune-ups and oil changes
CNG has a flammability rating of approximately 5 percent - 15 percent, which makes it less flammable and safer than other fuels.
Among the challenges of the 21st Century the foremost is the issue of environmental protection. The greenhouse factor
CNG combusting leaves little to no residue when compared to traditional petrol and diesel. This means that damages to pipes and tubes in the vehicle’s engines are reduced.
CNG burns cleaner when compared to traditional petrol and diesel. Carbon monoxide emissions are reduced by roughly 80 percent, and 44 percent less hydrocarbons are produced in comparison to petrol-powered vehicles. Natural Gas still contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, but they are significantly reduced
The ignition temperature of CNG is 600⁰C, which is higher than petrol (320⁰C) and diesel (285⁰C). This means that CNG vehicles are less likely to catch fire under any circumstances. In the event of a leak, CNG is lighter than air, meaning that it will dissipate into the atmosphere, unlike petrol or diesel which pools on the ground and serves as a fire hazard
Dedicated natural gas engines are superior in performance to petrol engines because natural gas has an octane rating of approximately 130, whereas super and unleaded have octane levels of 95 and 97 respectively
