Here's why CNG is a better alternative considering the pocket pinch and environmental impact as well.
CNG is cleaner and greener
A study claims that CNG vehicles emit 80 per cent lesser carbon monoxide compared to fossil fuels such as petrol and diesel. CNG is also proven to produce around 45 per cent lesser hydrocarbons than other fossil fuels.
CNG is good for a car's engine
CNG is considered as one of the cleanest fuel types for a vehicle's engine. It leaves much less residue when compared to petrol or diesel. CNG combustion doesn't emit particulate matter like petrol or diesel. This results in less damage to the pipes and tubes of the engine while, on the other hand, increasing the lifespan of the engine.
CNG is safer than petrol and diesel
CNG doesn't come in a liquid form as petrol or diesel. Being a gas, it disperses quicker than petrol and diesel, and hence the chance of fire hazard in a CNG vehicle is lesser than petrol or diesel powered vehicle. CNG cylinders are usually built in a far sturdier manner than petrol or diesel tanks. Also, the ignition point for CNG is 540-degree celsius, which is nearly double the ignition point of petrol or diesel. Thus, CNG is safer than petrol and diesel.
