This one is a beast, I installed a large 85L capacity CNG tank in the boot. It fills up at over 23SCM. It does 246km on 23SCM ₦4,600 (IBAFO - Benin )

It's a Camry 2012 with a 2GR V6 Engine 3.5L.

Again for clarity 246Km on ₦4600

I now use CNG on most of my daily drivers .

This Corolla gets 235km on 15.5 SCM on highway driving . 1 SCM is ₦200 in Lagos ₦230 in Ibadan, ₦200 in Benin .

For clarity I do 235km on ₦3100

The car is toyota camry 06. When i was asking him how much is engine, he said 450-480k but today when the car did not start, he is telling me abi i will buy tokunbo engine, he said i will see the one of 350-400k and i told him but you said it is 480k for engine. I told him that why do you tell me you can ring it well if you know i can see tokunbo engine for 350-400k and after giving you like 90k out of 135k you demanded. So inside which acct shld i put that 90k. I left his place with annoyance. I told him I don’t need to buy engine, let him fix this one first because i want to sell it immediately. He told me he has called someone to come and scan it for him and if i get there tomorrow and nothing is done, i will start changing my voice for him so that he can know that i am getting serious with him. I dropped the car for him since 18 Dec 2023. Up till now, car no start. It is starting but immediately it starts, it shut off.

In addition car owners should ensure they get the CNG cylinder test certificate from the retrofitter once he's installed the CNG kit on your car.

The certificate acts as proof of installing an approved CNG cylinder in your car.

Don't do padi padi.
Not only do we have certificates, manufacturer has printed and engraved my name on the next batch so you can't miss it .

Regular Leak Test of the CNG Cylinder
A car owner must regularly check the CNG fuel cylinder for leakage. Improper fitting of the CNG kit or overfilling the fuel cylinder often leads to gas leakage resulting in a fire and bursting of the cylinder. To avoid such a situation, the gas cylinder should be regularly tested for any signs of leakage and should be immediately taken to an authorized service centre in case a leakage is detected.
This is normal.

CNG is less likely to auto-ignite on hot surfaces, since it has a high auto-ignition temperature (540 degrees centigrade) and a narrow range (5%-15%) of in flammability. It means that if CNG concentration in the air is below 5% or above 15%, it will not burn.

Technically you can light a cigarette in vehicle with a shared tank with a leaking valve , open the windows and absolutely NOTHING will happen.

CNG should not be confused with LPG (cooking gas)

Try to Park Vehicles in Shade or Covered Area
A CNG car owner should always try to park his/her vehicle in a covered or shaded area, especially in the daytime. This is important to avoid direct exposure of the car to the sun which can easily heat the car making it prone to fire.
Incorrect.

The tanks are designed to hold 30mpa ' 300bars , 4,351psi . The tanks are filled at 250bar and rest at 210bar giving it 90bars of tolerance from heat and expansion .

Park where you like, as you like, tank will not explode .

Modified. When testing tanks are expected to meet burst pressures of up to 500bars .

Still wrong
There is a thin line between emotions and practicality.

Now let's look at it this way.

A minivan, wagon, and SUV will technically share same compartment (same airspace) with the occupants of the vehicle if a CNG tank is installed ..

God forbid there is a fire or explosion a tank In front with the driver and tank in the rear with passengers will.make little or no difference, every body will collect .


Now lets look at it from the safety angle.

A tank in the middle of the vehicle is shielded from front rear or side impact , even in the case of a roll over tank is still relaxed without issues.

Nigerians have been dealing with high pressure containers before you were born. The common oxygen tank which is used and abused by almost every panelbeter in Nigeria holds pressures in excess of 250bars (3,625psi) it sits under the sun , they carry it on bikes to go refill, they are almost all expired cylinders based on very old manufacturing dates, they never carry certificates etc. But in all of this I have not seen 5mm thick steel oxygen tank explode.

The tank in the sienna will be covered with upholstery you will not even know it is there. , the cabin vent will take out any possible leaks, the electro valve will shut off gas supply from the tank if there is a sudden Demand for gas not initiated by the ecu, it will signify an error on the CNG display unit alerting the driver who can safely park the car and manually turn of the gas valve and use petrol pending when he can get to a maintenance shop.

CNG is here to stay, technology has made it safer to use.

Waiting for the next complain or negative from you.

No Smoking Inside the Car
The owner of a CNG car should not smoke inside his car. This is because smoking can lead to a fire in the CNG car which can have devastating consequences.

@gazzuzz you SHOULD NOT install CNG cylinders inside the car.
There is a device called vent. It takes leaking gas out of the car.

There are no rules or laws that state the cylinder is safer in the back of a station wagon and not safe beside the driver.

And you can smoke in a Hilux if the CNG tank is in the bed grin

I am so interested in CNG but as a site man I am scared of losing precious boot space which I use for tools and work pieces. I own two cars A Toyota corolla 2005 the only space I will be willing to give up is the spare tire space if there is a tank that can fit exactly like the spare tire. The other is a totyota sienna 2006 I can't bear the though of not been able to collapse my rear seat it defeats the purpose of buying the car. So I need advice!
Look at the boot space available in this 2009, it will be almost same in the 2005.

Also look at the position of the cylinder in this 2012, you will not loose valuable bed space if you employ this method.

My Honda Civic uses less than 30k monthly. I see no economic advantage of pouring over 800k down the drain in converting my car....talk less of the additional weight those cylinders bring or the likelihood of mishap and the lost of valuable luggage space.... Peugeot 206 even better same for i10.

As a trained economist it doesn't make sense for small private vehicles and for safety it doesn't improve any safety issues that you pack your family in one..... knowing the extent of carelessness of Nigerian kazeems both online and offline ones.

Even dangote trucks carefully install the explosive ordinances outside the cabin sometimes enclosed in steel covers... For them it's justified due to the long distances they have to cover ....

Hybrid vehicles are also far safer.

1 killed, two hurt in explosion at CNG station in Mansa

Eyewitnesses said there was no fire at the filling station, located in a densely-populated area near the bus stand. After the blast, the police cordoned off the area.

Bathinda An employee at a compressed natural gas (CNG) filling station in Mansa was killed and two others gravely injured in an explosion at the station on Sunday evening. The victim, Vikram Singh, was filling gas in an Alto car when the explosion took place at the facility named Jagdish Oil Company. The injured were rushed to the Mansa Civil

It is a standard, to stay away from vehicle when refilling.

Explosions are always related to substandard tanks. In Nigeria we use type 1 tanks, which are 6-8mm thick and never explode .
