- Compressed natural gas (CNG) is about the half the cost of gasoline and diesel. Find out how Wisconsin businesses are saving money by adding CNG vehicles to their fleets.
These guys are killing it with 2022 gas price
I own two bifuel vehicles, my truck is a 2011 Chevy 2500 HD and I will never own another gasoline alone powered car. Gasoline in my area is running $2.69 a gallon and cng is $1.40 a gallon. I researched for two years before buying my first bifuel car and I found they are more economical, better for the environment, and safer than gasoline powered cars. People need to keep in mind your gas tank is made of plastic and if you should get in an accident your gas tank is much easier to rupture than a cng tank and unlike cng which dissipates into the atmosphere if it is ruptured gasoline goes on the ground and a single spark can set it on fire. They estimate your engine will last up to twice as long using cng and oil changes can be done up to 15,000 miles apart. Four years ago I converted my portable generator to bifuel because I live in the country and there is only one gas station by me so if I lose power they also lose power...my generator uses low pressure natural gas from my home gas pipes. The only possible downside I have found to natural gas is the availability of it once I am away from my area so anyone that is thinking about cng should make sure it is available in your area. I know I sound like a salesman for cng but I am not...when gasoline prices went to $4 a gallon when Bush was in office I was paying 78 cents a gallon for cng.
must be nice not to live in nazifornia
If you want to get more range out of your cng cylinders consider using ANG technology
I drive a school bus for Pasco county district school we have 100 CNG schoolbuses and plan on getting more 👍🏻👍🏻
For buses it makes totally sense. Not sure for long haul trucks
Lucas P TESLA Semi truck
@@ronaldfish1569 wishful thinking so far. Where's the Semi? What I see is a lot of Model Y riddle with built quality problems.
Lucas P The semi is not in production yet several major companies like Walmart JB Hunt Federal Express and other large companies have ordered the truck you need to look a little more carefully at Tesla‘s website
@@ronaldfish1569 The fact that some companies order it makes no difference. Where's the actual thing?
this is a solid video
But he didn't want to do that...
In Delhi the bus fleet was switched from diesel to cng in 2003
This setup the infrastructure, which was made available to regular people
Now every commercial vehicle registered in Delhi is required to be cng.
Lot of private vehicles are cng, and companies sell cng vehicles
How are the cars holding up? Do you hear of people complaining about damaged engines?
@@warntheidiotmasses7114 nope
Things are strict when it comes to regulations about the kit
Several car companies have launched cng vehicles over the years
Every commercial vehicle in territory of delhi is cng (taxi , supply trucks, buses, tuktuk )
I did the math and it only makes sense to convert to CNG if price of oil is above $3 and you have a fleet size of 10 vehicles, and you drive atleast 20k miles a year... other wise don't bother
Well we’re here and all the US is over 3 a gallon
CNG in Europe makes sense because higher taxes on diesel and gasoline. Many taxi companies are using CNG cars, also city buses, vans and light trucks used for distribution haul. CNG/LNG vehicles and biogas made from waste materials in addition to fossil methane are going to be used even more in the EU next 10-15 years because of environmental policies.
VW announced that they will stop designing new CNG technologies....
Does your truck lose power and torque? That would suck
Where do you buy the cyllinders?
Im changing to cng when i get a chance
Gas is double now 💀💀💀 hope they made the change
How does the j brake work on steep hills, mountains and deceleration getting off exits does it preform like a diesel truck?
Yeah and where do you fill them up at am I going to have to go 120 miles to find a gas station
Look at propane years ago ! Once people switched to using it the price jacked right up ! Now hardly anyone uses pro pain.
i mean, electric is extremely stable
The difference is propane is a byproduct of making gasoline or as natural gas comes out of the ground when they drill Wells and if they don't put it in the pipeline and sell it it's burnt up burnt out and smokes up the atmosphere there never run out of natural gas logs or Pompano allow the ground or propane has to be made at a refinery
Not for large trucks. Diesel is the best way to move big truck. Name one CNG train.
Hello how about to export you kit
Good luck locating a place to fill up with CNG if you're just a private citizen. Lotta municipalities have bought into CNG because they gobble the sales BS, and have plenty of taxpayer's dollars to blow on a very expensive fueling station facility for their fleet.
With extremely limited fueling locations, this is NOT a good idea for private vehicles.
LP much better, but only in a pickup truck to hold larger tank in the bed.
Dont forget to factor in the energy density of natural gas (methane) vs gasoline which is approximately 50% of that of gasoline basically GM and other car manufacturers are just giving you an option which one you want to use but you dont actually have savings the environment yes. Its better to have your okd car converted than buyibg those expensive Suvs'
1:15 The price would be 30 to 50 percent more (on a new vehicle). This is the underlining assumption. Always buy new car or house. But modding a petrol car to CNG costs only 2000 euros and there´s used houses available for less than 20000 euros. No, they are not unlivable. 3:30 natural gas (methane) can be produced on a farm with both crops and animal farming, INFINITELY.
I have a CNG transit bus. Stations are not around the corner to refuel. Can it be converted to LPG combo? Should I consider conversion to unleaded?
Can’t/not worth it to convert
I drive a cng semi they get worse mileage then diesel they weigh more then diesel and will not last nearly as long as a diesel. They can't pull like a diesel as well in cold weather they freeze up badly to all this has been what I have seen out of cng been driving cng semis for 3 years now would not take one of I had a choice in the matter. The Infrastructure is not there for it yet you have to really plain out trips for a cng to fill up.
Are you sure everything is right. I have car with 400 000 km that passed in Few years on CNG. I did not have any major issue with engine. It uses petrol longer on minuses but all around is good. I always tank on gazpromneft. But i do not see difference. Methane is methane
Im a truck driver as well. The company that I am working for is currently phasing out their CNG truck fleet; they realized that the trucks are breaking so often that its making the upkeep on these trucks expensive. Plus, the price of CNG has gone up to $2.60 a gallon as of now; so the fuel price advantage isn't there anymore.
@@tramvaj1271 Uhh.. buddy spell and grammar check please.. seriously, I can't understand what you are saying.
However, I think your talking about a car.. in case you haven't noticed we are *not* talking about cars, we are talking about class 8 vehicles/Tractor-Trailers here.. completely different league from a car.
what are you talking buddy? you can say that infostructure, less torque and less range is not capillar but:
1) because of the pressure it cannot freeze in the tank and inthe rail, and it's physics
2)in cold weather diesel and adblue freeze, and you don't have to deal with it with cng
3)actually cng engines run loner than diesels, because there is no dilution of engineoil with diesel. change oil in a cng truck like i do and you will see it the same color as you put it in. do it in a diesel truck and it's quite black
4)here in europe they are selling a lot of lng semi, cheap to operate, 460 horses in a class8 semi, more than 1000 miles of range! check em out, they're pretty good
imo for long hauls you need diesel, but for short range transortation if you have a cng station nearby you will end up with big cash in your wallet at the end of the life of a semi
almost exactly 50%
Like the funny race cars and airplanes. For forever. No one knew.
I work for the county they are running cng I love how they say ow it’s better cheaper cleaner um yea ok first the parts alone will take the savings our vehicles are a year old one has had 4 diffrent valves put in price over 8 thousand you think all these fuels are ok and good every thing has a price and a down fall plus where I live there is no cng stations only the county has it
Hyliion ERX - best candidate.
cng is future!
As a technician on what was a fleet of 20 cng kenworths. This is maybe the worst decision a company can invest in
Does it burn out the valves on passenger cars?
@@warntheidiotmasses7114 each truck have had the engine rebuilt atleast 2x. 90% of the time it was a hole in the piston. Many enternal engine problems from cng
Where can I purchase the kit?
Most of the vehicles featured are original equipment manufacturers (OEM) vehicles and can be purchased through a dealership. If you're interested in an aftermarket compressed natural gas system, please visit the EPA site to find a list of EPA-compliant alternative fuel conversions systems:
www.epa.gov/vehicle-and-engine-certification/lists-epa-compliant-alternative-fuel-conversion-systems#intermediate-age
Purchase the kit for 4,6,8cyl.engines from SKYCNG.com!!!!
You can get natural gas from your septic tank free
that is methane, not natural gas
wolfattack402000 actually from the septic tank in biogas and the active component of natural gas is methane look it up if you don't believe me
be my guest and use it. you will be the talk of the neighborhood.
wolfattack402000 i wouldnt lol but it's something to think about
Single cow in a one year can make 9000km worth of fuel
Propane also known as LPG is a better fuel booster than CNG for one simple reason. Propane contains about 37 percent hydrogen but CNG contains only about 1 percent hydrogen. For this reason, your power boost and fuel mileage increase with Propane is much greater than with CNG Also there are many more Propane stations than CNG stations
Is it propane highly flammable?
I'd like to see usable energy comparison of both fuels.
This Is B.S. CNG does not get the Mileage like Gas or Diesel. Now I been working on CNG buses since the 90s. and its B.S. maybe with Pick Up Trucks and smaller vehicles like Ford F-150s Honda's Civic Models that are CNG but this Video does not represent The Heavy Bus Industry.
has no idea how this would make them trillions in 2022
How much this system. Lis $20.000
I wonder how they’re going now Brandon?
Why fake AUDIO ?
With Joe Biden in Office it is worth the Investment
The cost of manufacturing would go down, if career politicians didn’t engage in bribes with big fossil fuel companies. Harvesting natural gas ⛽️ in many areas have been shut down in many Midwest territories, due to, primarily, Democrat policies. Many good jobs have been taken away, along with the many benefits of this abundant resource. The Obama administration was responsible for many shutdowns of the harvest, processing and distribution of this fantastic natural resource.
Pressurised CNG tanks are extremely dangerous. People have died when these tanks either rupture or the gas leaks and then gets ignited. I don't know how people dare to use these cars. I would never ever buy one, they're frekkin deadly D:.
It is not true - it is hard to crack tank in accident and it has safity mechnism for leaks.
What is not true? The fact, that exploding CNG tanks have killed people? Take a look around the internet. People do die when these tanks go off.
I don't know how hard it is, but when it does happen, it can kill you. Are you willing to take a chance and risk your life? I certainly do NOT want to sit in a car with a high pressure gas tank in it.
Lack of maintenance and not getting regular tank inspections will lead to problems. 99% of all cng related problems i see are from neglecting owners. Then they act surprised when they see the bill.
@@Gonz.0 So what?. I want to neglect shite and not have to worry about dying because of it.
