CNG cars

[chavvdarrr]

That's an unfortunate spelling mistake

well, majority of resellers discourage LPG conversion - adding LPG kit on Civic will void the warranty for example, while others offer to add the kit before delivering and still offer full-time (3y) warranty. Wish Honda were selling GX in Europe... VW and Opel already offer CNG equipped vehicles like Caddy/Zafira/Astra

Over here you need a G3 installation to keep your warranty. I think there is some law to that effect or such.

CNG was very common here in nz, late 1970 - early 1980s. I guess at least 30% cars used it. our car did. All petrol stations had CNG available. now its a rarity to see them.
a few issues
A/ cost of conversion
B/ having this whacking great tank taking up storage space, usually in the boot
C/ power, acceleration was slower than petrol

tanksize - typically nearly as wide as the car, with a diameter of ~50cm

The feedstock is manure, slaughterhouse waste, household food waste, sewage, confiscated moonshine and other unsavory bits and pieces.

What waste of moonshine!
