Advantages of CNG or LPG as a Vehicle Fuel

Maybe you’re running gasoline or diesel-powered vehicle, but thinking about conversions to a much cleaner and quieter operating vehicle. There are quite a few considerations to make before deciding whether to choose either CNG or LPG as the fuel that’s right for you.

Should your choice be conversions to propane, know that it does have a number of advantages over natural gas. Compared with traditional fuels, natural gas power lasts longer. Propane, as a fuel source, will be easier on your engines and thus you will not have as much maintenance downtime. Also, a plus for propane, is that it produces more energy per unit than natural gas.

On the other hand, there are reasons to go with CNG conversions. Natural gas vehicles are even more environmentally friendly than LPG models, and both CNG and LPG emit far less carbon monoxide than either gasoline or diesel vehicle. The winner in this race is CNG though. It emits only .01 CO grams per mile as compared to 1.40 grams per mile for LPG. If fuel cost is one of your concerns, and I would guess that it is for everyone, then CNG wins that contest too – being much less expensive than LPG.
