Petrol vs Gas
The car owner, in a video, said his friend who introduced him to the conversion spent about ₵900 for the engine modification.
After the car was filled, the man paid a little above ₵25. The filling was also done in less than three minutes. In another clip, the man said the gas is safe on the engine.
It should be noted that the gas in the vehicle is Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and it is quite different from the popular Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).
