Sounds like some rather spectacular vehicle crashes are just around the corner.

Propane has been used in vehicles for many years. Mostly for large fleets of commercial vehicles used within a relatively small local area.

The safety of CNG and Gasoline powered engines / fuel systems is about the same. Are you really concerned about this, or are you just imagining a problem with CNG?

If you are concerned, do you have *any* data to support that concern?

Yes, but it might ruin what is left of the Hollywood movie industry.

“An estimated 112,000 natural gas vehicles are on U.S. roads today and over 13 million are being driven worldwide”

Which is why we have global warming. It’s not the CO2, it’s the LNG cars blowing up.

I can remember years back with a number of propane fueled pickups and cars were out and about. Never once heard of any spectacular crashes.

CNG tanks are costly because they are designed crash proof and although may vent its unlikely to explode.

Why go through all the expense of converting all our vehicles when we could simply put some of these at the well-head or storage areas.

Study up.
CNG is safe.
This is a very weak article.
Technically CNG is a very viable solution. Only things holding back are crazy politicians - can’t tell how they will regulate.

Use all existing technology. On existing cars.
