The Safety Of A CNG Vehicle

Have you ever driven a CNG car? Have you ever wondered how they work and even run off of two different fuels? Along with these questions the main question seems to be if they are safe. Let us explain the safety of CNG vehicles and let you know what you can expect.

CNG tanks are made from an aluminum composite material which is extremely strong and durable. There is a video on our website which shows testers blowing up dynamite on it, shooting it with guns, and even cooking it in a fire without the integrity of the tank being compromised.

Each CNG tank is equipped with a safety valve which makes the tanks even safer. These valves are hooked up to a tube which lets the gas be released outside of the car instead of inside the cab. If the sensor is activated due to a collision, the gas will deplete getting rid of any danger of an explosion.

Natural gas has a much higher octane rating that regular gasoline. In fact natural gas can only be lit if something is 1100 degrees or hotter, unlike regular gas which can easily start on fire.

CNG is also safe to fill as a spark or some amount of low heat will not cause the gas to ignite. Also the tanks are rated to hold alot more compression than the typical 7000 lbs per square inch.

we hope that you can determine from this information the true safety of a CNG vehicle. These cars are great for the environment and are much cheaper to drive. If you are looking into buying a car like this rest assured that your safety is in good hands.
