| What
is CNG? CNG is Compressed Natural Gas stored at high pressure of 200 bar or about 3,000 psi. Natural gas is a gas that comes from within the earth and consists of 85% methane, 10% nitrogen and carbon dioxide, and the balance is ethane, propane, and butane. The octane rating of natural gas is 130. Can my engine run on both CNG and gasoline? Yes, you can run on either fuel and change the fuel you are using with the push of a button on the dash. Can I use the natural gas at my home? You can only use CNG. The natural gas at your home is not compressed. Do you sell CNG filling stations? No, and we do not recommend any. Where can I fill my car with CNG? Click on this link to view the interactive map of filling stations in your area. CNG Filling Stations If there are no filling stations in your area, ask your local Natural Gas Company to install public filling stations in your area. Do you have a dealer and installer program and do you have training? Yes, we are looking for dealers and installers throughout the USA and we do have a free training program at our office and we and volume discounts for dealers. If you are interested in becoming a dealer or installer, contact us with your business plans after reading our entire CNG Website. How much CNG will my car use? The Amount used depends on the vehicle size and engine. You will get about the same miles per gallon. Will using CNG harm my engine? No, it is better for your engine as explained on our CNG home page. Are your kits EPA Approved? No, and you are not required to have an EPA approved conversion kit installed on your car. The EPA only regulators manufacturers. They do not regulate installers or individuals. Most conversion kits installed throughout the USA are not EPA approved conversion kits and are being installed throughout the USA without anyone having problems from the EPA. It is the installers of EPA approved kits that do not want you to install a non EPA approved conversion kit on your car and they are trying to frighten the consumer from installing them. Will I be able to get any tax credits? Our kits do not qualify for the federal tax credit, but may qualify for some state credits. Check with your state for tax credit information. For Federal tax credit only EPA approved natural gas conversions by qualified mechanics qualify, and getting a conversion certified is about $250,000 per engine per model year. Approved conversion installations cost $12,000 and up and are only available for a few late model V8 engines. Will I be able to pass my state inspections? You should not have any trouble passing your inspections. Your emissions will be much lower if tested while on CNG. In Utah the State tried to require EPA certification to pass inspections and it was stooped with an injunction. Utah recently passed better laws. Utah News: Safety Inspection Injunction eliminates EPA requirement http://icreatewow.com/pdf/InjunctionRandyLieber.pdf California News: California now requires all CNG kits to be CARB certified or they will not pass the smog inspection. You can install a kit, but will have to remove some or all of the kit to get it smogged. If you live in California complain to your authorities about these laws and get the laws changed! Utah tried to have similar requirements in 2009 and it was stopped by local attorneys who were already using CNG in their cars. What is your state doing? Ask your state to contact Utah authorities and follow their lead. How is the conversion kit installed? See our HOW IS IT INSTALLED page. How do I switch fuels? You can switch to either fuel anytime, except when the engine is idling, with the push of a button. What do I get with my conversion Kit? You get everything needed including the filling nozzle. The kit does not come with the cylinder or cylinder valve. See our WHAT DO I GET page. Can I install it myself or do I need a mechanic? You can install it yourself if you can take the time to read and follow instructions, have basic mechanical skills and tools, and have and can use a DC voltmeter. We have detailed instructions written for the home installer. We recommend that two people install the entire kit. You will need two people to install the cylinder anyway. We have installers throughout Utah and in a few other cities throughout the USA. If we do not have an installer near you, ask your local mechanic if they will install it for you. We do not install, but we do provide technical support. How long does it take to install? It depends on the vehicle and your mechanical skills, but for most people it takes 6 to 8 hours. This does not include the time to install the cylinder. Can I install more than one cylinder? Yes, you may wish to install more than one cylinder to increase your driving range, particularly in larger 8 cylinder vehicles. See our PRICES page for pricing on our cylinders and all our products. How long will it last? Your kit and cylinder will last for many years, and will most likely outlast your car. What maintenance is Required? You only need to perform a quick visual inspection of your system each time you fill your car with natural gas. Can it be removed? Yes, you can remove it if you want and install it in another vehicle, but you may need a few different parts, which you can purchase from us. Can I sell my CNG vehicle or will it have be removed? Yes, you can sell your car without removing your conversion kit and you should get a much better price for your vehicle. Can the CNG cylinder explode in an accident? A CNG cylinder is a very strong and thick storage tank and is just as safe or safer than a thin plastic or metal gasoline tank. Millions of cars have been safely driving on CNG for many years including many federal, state, and local government vehicles. Will I get a "Check Engine" light when driving on CNG? If your kit is properly installed and adjusted you will most likely still get a check engine light. If you wait until your engine is warm before using CNG you moost likely will not get a check engien light. The reson you get a check enigne light is because the CNG fuel burns so much cleaner that the cars computer thinks the engine may be running rich or lean even though it is not. We recommend purchasing a low cost scanner to read and clear any codes if you get any check engine lights. They can be purchased for under $40 on ebay. Do the kits violate any EPA or Clean Air Act laws? No, none of our kits emulate any signals to the engines ECU and no emission systems are modified. We have the only conversion kits that do not modify any ECU signals. Can it be installed on a hybrid? We had problems with the Prius we installed a kit on and could not get it to operate consistently without the big triangle of death coming on occasionally, which requires you to disconnect the battery and reboot the computer. It may work on other hybrids by other manufacturers, but we have not tested the kit on other hybrids. Can it be installed on a turbo charged engine? Yes, it can be installed on a turbo charged engine. On a turbo charged engine the mixer is installed on the intake of the turbo charger and after the air filter. Diesel engines with turbo do not even need the mixer as the turbo sucks the CNG out of the regulator. Can it be installed on a diesel engine? We have conversion kits for diesel engines. A diesel engine requires a dual fuel system with at least 30% diesel fuel to operate safely, so it will be a mixture of the two fuels simultaneously. Most use 40% diesel and 60% CNG. |
