Comparing CNG and LPG: Pros and Cons of Converting Your Vehicle

Thinking about converting your CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) vehicle to run on LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)? It's possible, but it's important to understand that these two gases require different conversion kits and should be installed by a skilled technician.

While both CNG and LPG are cleaner-burning fuels than gasoline or diesel, there are some key differences to consider. For example, LPG tanks have a higher energy content and can be more cost-effective in the long run, while CNG tanks have a higher storage pressure. LPG also offers the option of state-of-the-art direct liquid injection, which can improve performance.

When it comes to storage, LPG tanks have a longer lifespan and take up less space than CNG tanks. However, CNG tanks are generally cheaper. In terms of emissions, both CNG and LPG have lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to other fossil fuels.

Ultimately, it's important to weigh the pros and cons and consult with a professional before making the decision to convert your CNG vehicle to run on LPG. It may be more efficient and cost-effective to replace the entire CNG kit with an LPG kit rather than trying to mix and match components.
