FUEL CHANGE AND CNG

Topic is for retrofitted CNG FUEL KITS-

EXPERIENCE
--Any car running on petrol can be retrofitted with a CNG kit and can run on CNG.
--These types of kits are universal can be mounded according to the car, resulting in being less safe.
--The overall coast of the vehicles is lower than the Factory Fitted CNG kits.

Uses-

*Rising pollution in the country particularly all the metro cities, the government has no
choices but to implement stricter exhaust emission norms. BS6 emission regulations will be
st
Implemented for the 1 of April this year. CNG fuel is considered as a green fuel, emitting less
harmful exhaust gases.

*An use of CNG as fuel to run vehicles was first discovered way back in early 1800s. With an advent
Of technology and people becoming more aware hazardous effect of use of petrol and diesel on
the natural environment has made many people across the globe has helped the CNG vehicles
to gain popularity.

*CNG not being safe is a myth. Now through several years, the technology to run petrol cars on CNG
Has become safe as well as more efficient. CNG kits are getting more and more popular due to the
gradual increase in the prices of diesel and petrol. CNG on an average cost around Rs 60.78 a kg
(including taxes) from Rs 58.10 per kg.

-The volumetric energy density of CNG is calculated to be 42% that of liquefied natural gas and in
25% that of diesel.
 Which is better petrol or cng

Both CNG, as well as petrol, have their own pros and cons depending upon the parameter. The ways
through which a fuel can be studied are :-

 Performance – Petrol leading this hands down. An engine running on petrol has more power
as compared to its counterpart .
 Economy – Considering the price of petrol and CNG petrol is a less economic solution. The cost
of petrol per liter is more is more as compared to the other fuel. Added to that is the cost of
long term CNG vehicles is more as compared to the petrol car. Yet doing the math and adding
all the affecting factors CNG is about Rs. 3 - 4 per km cheaper than its rival fuel.
 Pollution – Petrol emits more harmful gases like Nox and Cox (Nitrogen oxides & Cyclogenase)
but emitting less harmful Greenhouse gasses.
 Convenience – The worst drawback of CNG is the reduced boot space to accommodate the
huge cylinder. CNG as a fuel is not available everywhere. Installation may lead to a change in
the vehicle dynamic of the vehicle.
 Safety - Considering the fact that cng is but not as safe as petrol. Being a gas it is more prone
to leakage and catching fire

CNG IN VEHICLES
The two kinds of CNG equipment in the market are the factory fitted or retrofitted.

FACTORY FITTED CNG KITS

 Some cars come equipped with a CNG kit straight from the factory.
