Leaks are common in contraptions like this, but not explosions from refill.

Most Nigerians do not calculate .

My Hyundai ix35 costs 35k per week and 140k per month fuel.

I have had the car since 2012 still under 110k km

What is more expensive? Using petrol or converting to CNG ?

Is this not the Hyundai ix35 that you drove to and fro Akure on CNG? If it is, how come it has not clocked up to 110km?

Most Nigerians do not calculate .

My Hyundai ix35 costs 35k per week and 140k per month fuel.

In 10months this becomes ₦1.4m naira.

I installed an 85L CNG tank and kit.

Car now averages ₦4100 weekly and ₦16-20k monthly .

In 10months ₦200,000.

I have saved ₦1,200,000 in ten months.

Zero import duty
Zero VAT
Installation costs will crash and attract more investors.

My Honda Civic uses less than 30k monthly. I see no economic advantage of pouring over 800k down the drain in converting my car....talk less of the additional weight those cylinders bring or the likelihood of mishap and the lost of valuable luggage space.... Peugeot 206 even better same for i10.

As a trained economist it doesn't make sense for small private vehicles and for safety it doesn't improve any safety issues that you pack your family in one..... knowing the extent of carelessness of Nigerian kazeems both online and offline ones.

Even dangote trucks carefully install the explosive ordinances outside the cabin sometimes enclosed in steel covers... For them it's justified due to the long distances they have to cover ....

Hybrid vehicles are also far safer.

If safety procedures are adhered to. But see even Abuja where nipco has been for years the number of converted cars are very negligible ....relative to petrol vehicles

I am so interested in CNG but as a site man I am scared of losing precious boot space which I use for tools and work pieces. I own two cars A Toyota corolla 2005 the only space I will be willing to give up is the spare tire space if there is a tank that can fit exactly like the spare tire. The other is a totyota sienna 2006 I can't bear the though of not been able to collapse my rear seat it defeats the purpose of buying the car. So I need advice!

Abeg no dey confuse my confusion, you mean ₦27k Abi ₦2.7k abeg?

Look at the boot space available in this 2009, it will be almost same in the 2005.

Also look at the position of the cylinder in this 2012, you will not loose valuable bed space if you employ this method.

Which is safer this or this?

NOTE that a professional did the bus and a kazeem did the sienna .

No Smoking Inside the Car
The owner of a CNG car should not smoke inside his car. This is because smoking can lead to a fire in the CNG car which can have devastating consequences.

@gazzuzz you SHOULD NOT install CNG cylinders inside the car.

There is a device called vent. It takes leaking gas out of the car.

There are no rules or laws that state the cylinder is safer in the back of a station wagon and not safe beside the driver.

And you can smoke in a Hilux if the CNG tank is in the bed


Meanwhile the professionals built this not me.

Try to Park Vehicles in Shade or Covered Area
A CNG car owner should always try to park his/her vehicle in a covered or shaded area, especially in the daytime. This is important to avoid direct exposure of the car to the sun which can easily heat the car making it prone to fire.

Regular Leak Test of the CNG Cylinder
A car owner must regularly check the CNG fuel cylinder for leakage. Improper fitting of the CNG kit or overfilling the fuel cylinder often leads to gas leakage resulting in a fire and bursting of the cylinder. To avoid such a situation, the gas cylinder should be regularly tested for any signs of leakage and should be immediately taken to an authorized service centre in case a leakage is detected.
