CNG - Worth it or Messing up your engine?

I look around and looks like most cars sold in Pakistan now are CNG converted.

Totally understand the fact that Gasoline prices has probably gone out of roof and a "safer" reliable solution was needed.

But how does it work? Do car companies sell cars, factory installed CNG systems? Is there any sort of safety testing performed on this system?

As I beleive, in order for CNG to operate, a car must have a CNG gas tank riding on/under its belly. How safe is that?

Just curious

well sum car companies do offer factory fitted cng kits while the so called better brands such as honda and toyota dont do so....safety is never really taken into consideration here but its not that the kits ride under the belly..they are "safely" packed away in the trunk so u only need to worry abt rear collisions that too in hatchbacks...in all its pretty unsafe and cars performance sucks but wot can u do???petrol prices are sky rocketing and cng is the cheaper grreener way to go...
