Environmental Issues
This is one of the disadvantages of converting petrol cars to CNG cars. Even though CNG is typically thought of as a greener fuel than petrol, there are environmental effects associated with the extraction and delivery of this fuel.

The main ingredient of natural gas, methane, is a strong greenhouse gas. Some of the environmental benefits associated with CNG vehicles may be countered by methane leaks that occur during the production and delivery of natural gas.

Decreased Efficiency and Strength
This is one of the disadvantages of converting petrol cars to CNG cars. The possible loss of power and performance when switching from petrol to CNG is a major disadvantage.

Compressed natural gas (CNG) has a lower energy density than gasoline. As such, cars powered by CNG may have less horsepower.

For drivers who value performance, this power loss may be a major problem and have an impact on the whole driving experience.

Minimal Range of Driving
When compared to their gasoline-powered equivalents, CNG vehicles frequently have a shorter driving range.

As a result of its lower energy density, CNG necessitates larger storage tanks. This can take up valuable interior space and decrease the amount of trunk space that is accessible.

For drivers, having to stop more frequently for refueling can be annoying, particularly on lengthy trips when petrol stations may be few.

High Costs of Conversion

This is also one of the disadvantages of converting petrol cars to CNG cars. The initial cost of converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to run on compressed natural gas is high.

It can be expensive to convert the car with CNG-compatible parts, like a high-pressure tank and fuel system adjustments.

Even while there can be long-term fuel cost reductions, some prospective users might be discouraged by the conversion’s upfront costs.

Limited Facilities
Refueling with CNG is not as well-established as it is with petrol. Even if the quantity of CNG refueling stations is steadily rising, it is still far fewer than that of petrol stations.

Owners of CNG vehicles may find this restriction difficult, particularly in areas with limited access to refueling facilities

Upkeep Difficulties
This is one of the disadvantages of converting petrol cars to CNG cars. Vehicles with CNG systems need specific upkeep and servicing. CNG operates at high pressure, as such, some parts may experience increased wear and tear, calling for routine maintenance and inspections by qualified specialists.

In certain places, it may be difficult to find certified mechanics with CNG system knowledge. This could cause maintenance problems for owners of CNG vehicles.

Design of tanks.

What we are used to is 1 massive tank in the trunk, but in more developed CNG environments, you have smaller tanks , as small as 30L inserted in different locations of the vehicle , you even have smaller petrol tanks to accommodate more cng tanks , that way you get ranges as much as 400-500miles

Most Nigerians do not calculate .

My Hyundai ix35 costs 35k per week and 140k per month fuel.

In 10months this becomes ₦1.4m naira.

I installed an 85L CNG tank and kit.

Car now averages ₦4100 weekly and ₦16-20k monthly .

In 10months ₦200,000.

I have saved ₦1,200,000 in ten months.

I have had the car since 2012 still under 110k km

What is more expensive? Using petrol or converting to CNG ?

GAZZUZZ:


Still better than burning diesel or petrol .

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

Sources said the victim, killed on the spot, was thrown up over 20-feet due to the high-pressure of the gas. The roof of one of the cars was also blown off, with another vehicle also damaged. 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.


Filling station owner Jagmohan Kumar said, “More lives would have been lost, if we had not followed the protocol related to the filling of gas, which mandates that no one must to be present inside the vehicle, when gas is being filled.”
