Not only petrol-diesel and EV, there is a huge demand for CNG cars among the customers, which is why companies keep launching CNG models of their popular models. But those driving CNG cars need to take some precautions, otherwise due to one carelessness the car may catch fire and may even result in loss of life.
Today we are going to tell you why CNG cars catch fire and what mistakes you should avoid making?
Leakage: If there is any fault in the CNG kit then the gas may leak. If gas leaks and comes in contact with spark or fire, it can cause fire.
Installation: If the CNG cylinder is not installed by an experienced mechanic, then the risk of fire increases. In such a situation, while buying a car, try to buy only the CNG car fitted by the company because the company installs the cylinder keeping many things in mind.
Ignoring Maintenance: Not only servicing, also get hydro testing done every 3 years, through testing it can be known whether the CNG cylinder is safe to use or not? In order to save money, many people do not consider it necessary to get hydro testing done, but the thing to be understood here is that if there is carelessness and if there is any problem in the cylinder, then fire can occur.
Service and remove leakage: If you also have a CNG car, then get it serviced regularly and get any faults rectified immediately. If you smell gas leakage while sitting in the car, then get the leakage problem fixed immediately without any delay.
Hydro testing is necessary: You can know how fit and fine the cylinder is only when hydro testing is done. During testing, water is released rapidly into the cylinder. If the cylinder withstands this pressure and does not explode, then understand that the cylinder is strong.
