   Auto LPG advantages


Parameters

Auto LPG

CNG

Fuel Quality

Stable Quality, since produced in refineries under controlled conditions.

Varying Composition since it is supplied direct from the wells without any processing

Delivery Pressure

10 bar

200 bar

Refuelling time

3-4 Minutes, liquid handling

High refuelling time of 5-10 minutes,depending on the differential pressure, gaseous handling

Engine performance

Better than Petrol under high speed and heavy load conditions

Due to impurities, adverse engine performance under high speed and heavy load conditions

Availability

Can be made available in any part of the country by installing storage facility.

Available only on select cities where pipeline has been laid .

Cost of Dispensing infrastructure

40 lakhs at an existing retail outlet

150 lakhs at an existing retail outlet.

Cost of conversion of vehicle

Rs 16000 to Rs 25000

Rs 40000 to Rs 60000(for 3/4 wheelers)

Calorific Value

90-95MJ/m^3, which means higher amount of heat energy produced with low residues thereby offering higher efficiency.

35-40MJ/m^3, compared to LPG efficiency is low due to low calorifc value

Environment emissions

Overall low CO, CO2 , methane, NOx emissions but also emit lower particulate matter (considered a dangerous pollutant) than CNG

CNG emits more Particulate matter than LP

 CNG vs LPG fuel kits By Team DNA Drive Agency: DNA With petrol prices at their highest ever, and chances of a diesel price hike lurking, should one convert to CNG or LPG fuel kits? If so, what are the pros and cons? Here’s what you always wanted to know. Compressed natural gas (CNG) Compressed natural gas (CNG) is a cleaner burning gas – though it does release some Greenhouse gases --when compared with the mainline fuels such as diesel and petrol. Natural gas is primarily methane, which comprises carbon and hydrogen. This fuel is safe and generally used at home for heating, lighting and cooking. On the performance front, the CNG is highly compressed, due to which its pressure is around 3600psi. For safety purposes, it is stored in highly pressurised, heavy tanks. That is the reason why an empty CNG tank itself weighs about 68-70 kg. A CNG tank usually has a storage capacity of 8-10 kg. The present and the future The government has been encouraging the use of CNG for vehicl
