Compressed Natural Gas has become one of the most viable alternative fuel options in recent times. As an alternative to buying a new NGV, car owners can also be choosing to convert an existing vehicle to run on CNG. Car owners are nowadays preferring to have a pre-installed CNG Conventional kit when they buy a new car, the reason we all know that it is very economical.

A CNG conversion kit is a set of components that are installed in a vehicle so it can operate using CNG. CNG conversion kit consists of parts like regulator, high pressure tubing and fittings, pressure gauge, filling nozzle, hoses, hose clamps, advance timing processor, fuel change over “ON/Off” switch as well as the necessary wiring, straps and screws.

The fuel change over switch allows the driver to switch from petrol to CNG in just a push of a button. CNG conversion kits usually do not include the CNG tank or cylinder as well as the cylinder valve. They are purchased separately from the CNG conversion kit.
