Never Completely Fill CNG Tank

This is a very important step that should be followed by all CNG car users. By following this simple step, you can avoid the chances of a major accident as the gas inside the tank can expand due to extreme heat in summer.

Even the CNG tank in your car comes with an expiry date and it is very important to know the expiry date of the CNG tank in your car.

In general, the expiry of a CNG tank is around 15 years, which is also the lifetime of a vehicle and post which the vehicle must undergo a fitness test at the concerned RTO.

Keep An Eye For Leakage(s)

At the end of the day, CNG is a highly combustible gas that has been stored under immense pressure inside a cylinder with more than a few components taking this highly pressurised flammable gas to the combustion chamber.

So, it is recommended not to prolong any service of CNG vehicles and it is always recommended to keep an eye for any CNG leakage.

Try To Keep Cabin Temperature Low

Some parts of India is getting extremely hot this summer and it is better for CNG equipped cars to be parked under a shade or away from direct sunlight to avoid rapid expansion of combustible gas inside the cylinder.

Parking a car in the shade significantly improves the interior temperature, which in turn keeps the CNG cylinder from getting warmer.

Installing authorised CNG kits are safer as these kits and related components are tested for safety. This significantly improves the safety aspect of the car.

In addition to that, CNG kits from authorised service centres often last longer and do not cause any trouble in long run.
