LPG or CNG
LPG or CNG
i used to think LPG is the Cheapest and most UGLY form of Fuel u can run in ur car, because of its Ugly looking Cylinder and Smell of the gas was intolerable, and hence CNG is everywhere with Kits and Gadgets and proper fueling stations, i watched on Discovery Chanel that in European Countries LPG is preferred over CNG and its doen't smell , the cylinder shapes and sizes are Amazing, the shape of your extra tyre could be the shape of ur cylinder so dat it fits in properly.
So i wanna know Y do people PUT CNG , and is LPG really better than CNG ? in what ways ? pls shed some light on this issue ... thankx
