Increasing popularity of CNG cars

The demand for CNG cars is increasing rapidly in India. People are preferring CNG vehicles due to lower running cost and better mileage as compared to petrol and diesel. However, it is important for drivers using CNG to pay attention to the quality of the gas. If there is any problem in the supply of CNG or the system of the car, it can have a direct impact on the mileage and efficiency of the vehicle.


Note a sudden drop in mileage

If your CNG car is continuously giving less mileage than usual, then it is necessary to investigate the reason. Especially when you're driving the same route and in similar conditions every day. Keeping a record of mileage after filling CNG can be beneficial. If you notice a big difference in mileage after taking gas from a particular station, then get CNG filled from another authorized station and compare.

weak pickup signal

If the pickup of the vehicle has become weak after filling CNG or the response to pressing the accelerator is slow, then do not ignore it. Engine jerking, unusual vibrations or difficulty starting may also indicate a problem with the CNG system. In such a situation, it is necessary to get the car technically checked.


CNG station selection

Always choose a reliable and authorized station for filling CNG. If you are facing problem of mileage and pickup again and again after filling gas from any station, then try taking CNG from another authorized station for some time and see the difference.

CNG pressure check

It is important to pay attention to the pressure while filling CNG, but just by seeing low pressure one should not conclude that the gas is adulterated. If you experience persistent problems while filling or notice a change in the vehicle's performance after filling, try changing stations and comparing.

Regular checking of CNG cylinder

It is necessary to regularly check the CNG cylinder and kit of the car. Follow the rules to hydro testing and fitness of the cylinder and always get the test done from an authorized center. If gas is smelled, leaking or any unusual sounds are heard in the CNG system, do not try to open or repair the system by yourself.


be careful

Do not take decisions regarding the quality of CNG on the basis of any single indicator. Note persistent low mileage, weak pickup, and unusual engine behavior. Regular service, correct tire pressure and use authorized CNG station. With a little care, you can maintain the performance of your car and detect problems to the CNG system in time.
