PLS TRY AND STOP THIS MADNESS. THE RISK IS FAR HIGHER THAN THE GAIN.

those buses don't have enough space in the boot for the cylinder

Boot is a good position but in the absence of that,other location,like under seat can also be used,provided the seat is not touching the CNG cylinder,which is always ensured.Remember CNG is lighter than air and will always disperse quickly into atmosphere any event of leakage....
CNG Cylinders is very thick(12mm +)specially designed for extreme conditions and very rugged too.

CNG as vehicular fuel has been in use in Benin City for over 7 years and no explosion report.

CNG very safe!!!

was this caused by the CNG gas?

CNG is very save,explosion is the last thing that can happen if you take a simple safety measure.
CNG cylinders,unlike LPG Cylinders,is designed to withstand extreme handling situations.

Nigerians are innovative, smart and hardworking set of people.

AutoReportNG was in Mowe-Ibafo a city in Ogun state and we decided to board a bus at Ketu, before boarding the bus we noticed some strange object like a gas tank under the seat but just as Lagos drivers can do anything to their vehicles, we overlook it as part of those things. The commercial bus decided to stop at a "Filling Station" to top up his tank, but this one seems to be irregular as the nozzle and the way it was sold was quite different from the regular petrol station. That was when the curiosity in us began to manifest, we asked the driver what's going on why is he buying gas instead of buying petrol, the driver just smiled.

We were able to engage the driver as we journey along the trip and the driver was kind enough to explain the modalities, according to him, when the problem of fuel and scarcity is about making them go out of business, they think of a smart way to operate and also think of spending less. According to our findings, the vehicle uses an injector engine and with a gas of 900 naira, the driver said he can go from Lagos to Mowe (through and fro) 3 times even when there is traffic. That is very very cheap and cost effective! Imagine how much he will be making in a day just using gas only.

Let's do the maths a bit, a full bus take 15 passengers and they charged 200 per passenger ((200 * 15) * 2) that is in a trip (through and fro), he will make 6000 naira, imagine going 3 times, that is 18000 using 900 naira gas. Imagine if he goes 10 times in a day, you can imagine.

Wisdom is profitable to direct!

These are some of the pictures we were able to gather...

Thanks for the post and your enormous interest in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as a vehicular fuel.Actually this project began in Benin city,few years ago.Picture you posted showed a bus which was converted to run on CNG about 4 years ago.It is now a old bus and the CNG system is still working properly.Meanwhile,this shows the level of ruggedness of the CNG Cylinder and how safe the system is in extreme conditions.

Most importantly,before you can run your vehicle on CNG,you need to get CNG kit/Cylinder installed on it.(we call it CNG Conversion)

Advantages:
CNG is very safe for these 2 reasons:
--Natural gas is lighter than air,so in the event of leakage, it disperses quickly into atmosphere.
--The cylinder is over 12mm thickness and 100% hi-tech steel mold,this feature makes it very rugged and safe against any impacts due to accidents.

CNG is flexible:
--Vehicle can either run on petrol or CNG
--Vehicle can either run on diesel or CNG

CNG is economical:
---About 50% savings on fuel cost is guaranteed when using CNG as against petrol especially.


No Vehicle Modification:
--CNG kit/cylinder is simply considered to be an add on device because original design of the vehicle is not affected after installation.
--CNG kit components are installed in such away that the original positions of OEM parts is maintained.No obstruction to routine maintenance.

Maintenance-Free:
--If the connections of the CNG kit Components is not disturbed during conventional vehicle maintenance,CNG kit installed can
last for so many years and thus requiring zero maintenance.

It is Nigerian's Own Gas:
---Natural gas our local gas and it is in abundant reserve(180 trillion cf),we do not need to ship it outside the country for refining.
Thereby saving our foreign reserve.

Pls feel free to ask me more questions about CNG conversion.
