Kudos to **carfreek **(review dt Oct24, 2005) for his **blatant attempt to use the platform of this blog to advertise CNG** and to palm it off to unsuspecting readers by making glaringly wrong submissions and supresing some hard and very unpleasant truths:
*1. Cost:** good quality branded italian CNG kits with reputed retrofitters are being quoted at app **35, 000 to 40, 000** and not 20, 000+ as suggested. At 20, 000 not even th worst quality indian CNG kit is available easily
*2. Pressure**: the pressure - as confirmed by th CNG pumps themselves- is mandatory 220 bars that is . **220 kgs per square cms**! In normal working it fluctuates and may go upto 250 bars also. This is exceptionally high, when compared to the pressure of LPG, which is only 7 bars!
*3. Safety**: The danger of CNG comes not so much from the gas itself, as from th **exceptionally high pressure** of more than 220 bars(220 kgs per square cm), which every CNG user is forced to carry in his car . 24 hours!
*4. Volumes**: Even after over a decade of th presence of CNG in mumbai with over 150 pumps, one would be **hard put to find even 2 private cars running on CNG!** . thanks to the vast array of unsurmountable problems associated with CNG
I fully agree with th comments of **mihir **. that such camouflaged advertisements should be deleted forthwith.
