Adding A CNG Conversion Kit To Your Car

By Michael Skatoli

Cleaner and more affordable motoring is the way to go. There are quite a few options on the alternative fuels market at the moment, but amongst the most popular is to power your vehicle using compressed natural gas and a CNG conversion kit.

CNG means compressed natural gas. CNG cars are an increasingly popular alternative to traditional modes of transport. There are well above 7 million vehicles around the world presently that are powered by natural gas using CNG conversion kits.

A CNG conversion kit allows you to modify your vehicle so that it runs on compressed natural gas instead of conventional gasoline. Not only will this let you save money on gas costs, it cuts down on emissions, so it also helps to save the environment.

In many countries globally, and most commonly in Asia Pacific and South America, automotive producers are offering their vehicles with Compressed natural gas conversion kits already installed.

Here at home, most compressed natural gas cars driving on our roads have been converted by specialists. Cars can either be modified to run on CNG alone, or else use natural gas in addition to standard gasoline.

If you opt to install a CNG conversion kit in your car, it is feasible that you could do the job by yourself if you are experienced with mechanics and car maintenance. It is a complex procedure, but people have been known to complete the job by themselves.

The most common option is to find a good trained expert to do the job for you. It does not need to be too expensive and you can be happy in the knowledge that it will be a job well done.

When it comes to compressed natural gas conversion kits, there are a number of issues that you should be aware of. Perhaps most importantly you will need to ensure that there is a CNG service station nearby. This information should be easily found on the web.

However, even if there are no CNG refueling points near your house, you do have other options. One such alternative is a residential refueling rig. If you have natural gas in your home, this gadget can compress a full tank of fuel in a short period of time so you can attach it to your car before you go to bed and have a full tank of fuel when you get up. Otherwise, you could buy a natural gas compressor.

CNG kits can be a wise investment that can save a lot of expense, and the planet, in the long run. However, there is a fairly large initial outlay at the outset. At the bottom end, CNG kits are quite affordable at something in the region of $1,000. However, some makes can cost substantially more than that, and you also have to consider the cost of hiring a mechanic. - 21396
