Truly it will reduce drastically the demand for forex used in importing pms and Co. The issue here is that govt of the day isn't willing to promote the idea. More so the current operators if CNG is trying to make it look like one Elite car club. I'll blame it on their unwillingness to actually set up shop across Nigeria. If it's not Lagos, then forget it.

Anyways, I think I'll have to convert my two trucks

Op na how much sef

GAZZUZZ:


I used to use CNG on my generator, until GOV decided to double the price of Gas, I jejely reverted to petrol.
Until The govt removes it's hands from the oil sector completely, we will never have fair prices

Addegbuyi:

How much do you get the gas now compared to petrol. i will still say that petrol is far better in every ramification. Coupled with the factit elongates the life span of any engine using it.

Guess we spoke already.

GAZZUZZ:
the day the govt embraces CNG, we will reduce the importation of premium motor spirit. Even Dongote has harnessed CNG in most of his trucks. I also noticed it on most 7up trucks too.

When you compare two items.... better is the operational adjective.... And when more than two best is used. I had a rough time reading your interesting post....

Addegbuyi:


why did you have a rough time with my post? If you are saying better, do u have the best option at the moment? If yes, good but if no, then I still stand on the my adjective-the best option.

I remain my humble self and always ready to take to corrections. Since there is still no better option than this, I will still say CNG is still the best option now. If a better one comes in, then CNG could be better but not best. Like I said, i stand to be corrected.

angels09:

What's the cost?

Addegbuyi:

it is on the flier...5k

Addegbuyi:
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is a natural gas that is compressed to high pressures so that large volumes can be stored in small spaces. Just as said earlier, it is predominantly methane (about 90%-95%) that is compressed to a very high pressure of 250 bar (3,600 psi) to enable transportation in cylinders at economic quantity.
Converting a petrol/diesel vehicle to run on CNG can be done in various ways depending on the type of the factory fitted engine of the car and this also determines the type of conversion kit to be used.
SAFETY ASPECTS OF CNG
Natural gas is a safer fuel compared to most conventional liquid fuels in the areas of ignition, dispersion and burning features so also with its low toxicity.
Natural gas is buoyant in air so it moves rapidly upward if released. Liquid fuel form ground hugging vapor layers and pools when spilled.
Carcinogenic and irritant properties relating to skin contact and inhalation of fumes have been identified in liquid fuels whereas Natural gas has no such properties.
Carbon monoxide is an unavoidable by-product of hydrocarbon fuel combustion and is the main contributor to the increase in global warming. Natural gas primarily consists of methane (over 85%) and is inherently a clean burning fuel. It has less carbon per unit energy available as compared to petrol and diesel and hence the amount of carbon monoxide produced by Natural gas is much lower.

BENEFITS OF CNG

A. Financial Benefits:
-Lower operating cost as CNG is cheaper than petrol by over 60% and as 45% for diesel on dual fuel mode
- Lower maintenance cost.
i. CNG is a cleaning burning fuel and hence has lower carbon deposits
ii. Due to absence of any lead or benzene content in CNG, the lead fouling of sparks plugs is eliminated
iii. CNG systems are sealed and this prevents any spill or evaporation losses
B Environmental Benefits:
- Reduction in harmful vehicle emission that cause local air pollution
- Reduction in global warming
- CNG is non-toxic so neither soil or water gets contaminated nor toxic vapour is released at filling stations.

C. Benefits to the General Public
- Reduction in the cost of running the vehicle
- Dual- fuel option is flexible and easy to use
- Reduction in exhaust emission leading to improved quality of life and reduced health cost.

Hi Addegbuyi,

Is it all makes and year of cars that can make use of this dual power setup? or there are limitations?. what is a rule of thumb estimate for both labour and material costs for conversion. Also, where can/will the CNG tank be refilled when it has been exhausted.?

Methane is very ignitable right?, if so, how safe is the placement of CNG Tanks inside the boot of cars, esp as cars are sun-baked out in the open every blessed day. Are there any attendant risks of temperature induced pressurised leakage of the gas in such conditions? In a case of vehicular accidents/ collision from the rear, what provision is there against explosive rupturing of the CNG tanks domiciled at the rear? for a front collision, the sudden breaking away of any of the CNG conversion kit will also lead to no leakage of volatile gas?

Kindly help clarify the above areas.
Thanks.

Dear angels09, I really dont know what is it with you and looking out for mistakes? Do you think you a perfectionist? Please face whatever you have come on this thread to read and if its all about looking for errors, then I guess you have just started because mistakes have no master.

angels09:

Apologies. I see you abhor corrections.

Addegbuyi:


If it has to be done, make it polite. Thank you.

Addegbuyi:


Lets start from the beginning, all makes of cars can be converted to dual mode of power set-up. As for the cost, I would suggest you visit our workshop/office with the vehicle to be converted. The refilling point has not really been spread around but we are working out modalities for easily and accessible refilling points around the country. As for safety during vehicular collision, the following should be noted:
1. The cylinders used for CNG are stronger than the regular cylinder for our cooking gas (LPG)
2. Unless, there is a great impact in the hit from rear or the cylinder is expired, there can't be accidental explosion of gas.
3. CNG is lighter than air so anytime the gas escapes into the atmosphere, it dissipates rapidly.
4. CNG will only ignite when there is an air and gas mixture of between 5 and 15% ratio. Any mixture outside the range wills not lead to combustion.
5. The installed hardware are well sealed that so no breakage can lead to gas leakage.
In refilling the gas, an opening is created byt he conventional petrol refill point. see the picture.
i hope i have been able to answer your queries? thank you
