CNG cars that run on natural gas

Compressed natural gas? Yep, that seems safe.

Russia and China signed $400 billion deals in 2019 for supply of natural gas

even better if it runs on Ammonia (less pressure and better millage)... Both are far better than hydrogen (think "Big bomb")

the pinto was using gasoline (so you are comparing apples to oranges) not a realistic comparison!!

I was pricing out a Chevy Truck last year and I noticed there was an LNG Option package you could order. I think I remember it was about $2.500.

That is from Hollywood

How will CNG cars be in USA. Tesla will go down forever.

My 2011 Crown Vic ex cop car has the CNG option.

CNG

I have had multiple CNG and LPG cars over the last 30 years.
CNG is gutless but cheap, LPG about 8o% power of petrol but half the price.
I have T-boned a truck and had a head on collision on highway, both in CNG vehicles. No flaming fireball.
Eventually you miss the power on CNG, no good on hills or for towing. LPG good for both but need to refill twice as much as petrol.

.

A HORRIBLE waste of money...
At current NG filling station prices in the Midwest, they cost THREE times as much to drive as a gasoline car, not too mention they can ONLY be maintained by an NG certified repair center. There are THREE in Ohio, and they are madly expensive.

Same thing killing the demand now, that killed it in the 80’s.

Only bad feature is explosion risk due to collision. Outside of that, you can use natural gas with hqrdly any processing at all

Speaking on concept, not the company doing it

taxi drivers seem to like toyota priuses now. they used to drive big lpg cars

the pinto bombs were staged by the enviro-tards of the day

Any internal combustion engine can run on natural gas or propane.

In Texas it is usually only done with work trucks that can also have a large 2nd tank in the bed of truck.

Also typically only done as a fleet vehicle.

Austin texas still has 1 Nat Gas service station and Dallas texas has 1. Thats It!!

Only other way to fill up is with private equipment by those who manage gas wells, storage..etc

OR by buying a large tank on property and buying necessary equipment.

However PROPANE can be filled up at a propane refill station

CNG is not practical. It requires large, high pressure tanks that take up way too much room. Even with a large tank the range is not good enough to get you from one CNG station to the next. Propane is proven and dependable, but still not a great solution. Gasoline is still king, and will be for quite a while yet.

we already have this and busses that run on CNG here in the US.

Why can't you fill your CNG car at home with a small HP compressor?

Are you fucking high? Do you have any idea how dangerous anhydrous ammonia is????

A CNG tank going up would be bad for people within 100 yards, an ammonia tank rupturing would be a hazmat incident requiring the evacuation of everyone within a mile radius.

I've personally been involved in an anhydrous ammonia leak, there were two routes out of the facility if I had taken the other one I would be dead right now. 3 firefighters out of the 10 who responded had to be hospitalized despite being decked out in full protective gear and SCBA masks... the shit can absorb through your skin. One guy at the facility also was hospitalized, and almost died.

The tank that leaked wasn't even that big, I'd say it was about 3 or 4 times the size of an automotive fuel tank. And guess what you use to make ammonia? Natural gas!!!

Your video kinda shows just how fucking dangerous gasoline is... natural gas leaking would not spread out on the ground like that, the fire would have been contained to the rear of the vehicle away from the passengers.

As long as you're not in an enclosed space, I would rather a gas fuel leak than a liquid fuel leak.

CNG vehicles run SUPER clean and the engines run forever. Seriously, you tear one down at 100,000 miles and the insides looks like it just left the factory.

The problem is, there's no real infrastructure to refill CNG vehicles. I'd invest in that before the electric car nonsense.

Biden, Kerry and the Clinton's approve.

I think that algae us the future!

I have several generators that can run on either propane or gas. On propane they get considerably worse mileage than on gas. How is the mileage on natural gas in these trucks compared to regular gas?

Everyone already has gas in their house. Fill it at home, just like the electrical cars.
