Before you convert your car to CNG, it is proper to understand the advantages and the disadvantages so that your decision to convert or not is an informed decision.
1. CNG converted vehicles generally experience reduced engine power and performance due to its lower energy content. Factory fitted CNG vehicles do not experience this.
2. Converted CNG vehicles require you to sacrifice some space in your car trunk for the CNG tank.
3. The additional weight of the CNG tank may affect the suspension of your car.
4. Although CNG is becoming popular in Nigeria, refueling infrastructure is still a far cry from what it should be. So you might need to travel a distance to where you can refuel your vehicle.
5. Converting your car to CNG might incur a high initial cost, although there are several ongoing initiatives to bring down the cost and convenience of conversion.
6. CNG converted vehicles may require more specialized maintenance due to the difference in fueling system.
