CNG - Advantages
CNG has several distinctions over other fuels:

Environmental
-No impurities, No Sulphur (S), No lead (Pb)
-Very low levels of polluting gaseous emissions without smell and dust
-Molecular structure compactness prevents the reactive processes which lead to the formation of Ozone (O3) in the troposphere.

Safety
-Lighter than air - in case of leak no dangerous puddles
-Unlikely to ignite due to:
High ignition temperature
Narrow range of ignition
-Lowest injury and death rate per vehicle mile
-CNG cylinders structurally most sound and have passed every severe tests

Economical
-Cheaper than conventional fuel.
-Pay back period is short

Technical
-Very high antiknock power (more than 120 ON) allows greater performance compared to petrol one.
-Does not require refining plant or additive adding and can be used immediately after its extraction.
-It has no evaporation leaks and spills of fuel, both during refueling and feeding of the car.
-Its combustion produces a very low quantity of carbon deposits (permits a longer life of lubricant oil, spark plug, piston drum, valves & other components)
