CNG FAQ

CNG is a cleaner, cheaper, and more sustainable alternative to conventional fossil fuels. It emits fewer harmful compounds, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and can save you money at the pump.

A CNG vehicle works much like a petrol-powered vehicle with spark-ignited internal combustion engines. The engine functions the same way as a traditional engine but is modified slightly to accept high-pressure natural gas.

Yes, you can convert your existing vehicle to run on CNG with a conversion kit. However, it’s crucial to use a certified installer to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.

There are thousands of public and private natural gas refuelling stations across the country. Many are located along major highways or in industrial areas.

Yes, it’s safe to drive a CNG vehicle. They undergo rigorous safety testing and must meet the same federal safety standards as gasoline vehicles.

While the upfront cost of a CNG vehicle can be higher than a comparable petrol vehicle, the cost per mile driven is generally lower due to the lower fuel cost for natural gas.

CNG vehicles emit up to 90% fewer emissions than traditional petrol or diesel cars, contributing significantly less pollution and greenhouse gases.

While you can travel long distances in your CNG vehicle, planning may be needed due to fewer refuelling stations compared to traditional fuel sources.

CNG vehicles don’t require more maintenance than regular gas-powered cars; however, they do require different maintenance checks such as inspecting for leaks in the gas system.

Yes, various federal and state incentives exist for purchasing new OEM or converting existing vehicles to run on alternative fuels like CNG.

No, using compressed natural gas does not negatively affect your car’s acceleration or cruising speed.

While still developing in some areas, infrastructure support for these vehicles is continually improving with an increasing number of refuelling stations across many regions.

If your car runs out of natural gas while driving, it will automatically switch over to petrol if you have a bi-fuel system installed.

The lifespan of a CNG engine varies depending on factors such as maintenance and usage.
