Compressed natural gas (CNG)


Natural gasoline can be obtained by mixing petroleum with natural gas. Natural gasoline is a highly volatile liquid, and on cooling, it condenses to form condensed natural gas (CNG). Nowadays CNG is widely used as fuel in many automobile vehicles. The fuel feed system is similar to a LPG fuel feed system. Petrol-driven cars can be easily converted into CNG-driven mode by using some CNG auto conversion kits. Some of the early CNG vehicles are Hindustan Motors make Ambassador Car, Ashok Leyland’s Bus, Tata make Indica Car and Fiat’s Uno Car. Some of the advantages of CNG driven vehicles are less toxic gas emission, minimum air pollution, minimum noise and negligible fuel evaporative losses.
