A . The Autogas (CNG) system, which is supplied exclusively by Automotive Components, is the premium CNG system available locally. A number of features distinguish it fro other CNG systems:

•  Customized installations: each component of the Autogas system is matched to the type of vehicles to which it is installed. The regulator is matched to the size and capacity of the engine and the mixer is matched to the size off the air-intake system on the vehicle. This customized approach ensures that your vehicle I installed with the components which are best suited for is requirements.

•  Exceptional performance: the Autogas system includes exclusive components- which enhance the performance of your vehicle on compressed natural gas (CNG).

•  Rigid installation standards: Automotive Components adheres to the strictest local and international installation procedures to guarantee the safety of both the vehicles and its passengers.

•  Unbelievable warranty: Automotive Components is so sure of its produce that we offer a 15 year guarantee on the cylinders and 12 months on the engine components.

•  Natural gas is a fuel which has been used for many years to produce heating and electricity as well as to power vehicles. When used in vehicles it is compressed hence the name Compressed natural Gas CNG.

Not at all. Compressed natural gas has been used in Europe for over 50 years. Currently there are almost 3,600,000 vehicles being operated on CNG world wide.

There are a number of good reasons to use CNG.

 

•  CNG is economical: a litre of CNG cost less than 60% of an equivalent litre of gasoline, so using CNG will cut your fuel bill by more that half.

 

•  CNG reduces the maintenance of your vehicle. Because CNG is a clean fuel, it leaves no deposits on the spark plugs and does not contaminate the engine oil, so the frequency of servicing or “tune ups” is reduced.

 

•  Using CNG extends your engine life. Gasoline and diesel contain lead, sulphur and other additives, all of which are deposited in the engine, increasing engine wear. CNG contains none of these, so using it in your vehicle will extend the life of your engine.

 

•  CNG is an environmentally friendly fuel which emits no lead and less carbon monoxide and other pollutants than gasoline or diesel.

 

•  NGV's (Natural Gas Vehicles) are also safer that gasoline vehicles. Compressed natural gas will no ignite o burn as easily as gasoline. The cylinder in which it is stored to withstand tremendous pressure and will not crack or puncture. In addition, all CNG systems are equipped with numerous safety features which protect both the vehicle and its occupants

CNG moves from the storage cylinders, through a fuel line, to the engine, where a regulator reduces the pressure of the gas to atmospheric pressure. It is mixed with air by a mixing device, which fits on the air-intake system, before flowing into the combustion chambers to power the vehicle.

After converting to CNG your vehicle becomes bi-fueled, which means that you can use either gasoline or CNG? The driver can safely switch from one fuel to another while driving. Dedicated CNG vehicles, which are designed specifically for use with CNG, operate only on that fuel.

 

CNG has a higher efficiency rating than gasoline. CNG allows for better cold starting as well as a smoother, quieter performance. The Autogas system optimizes the use of the beneficial characteristics of CNG thereby greatly reducing any power loss.

No, the CNG equipment is simply added to your exiting engine. If you wish, the equipment can even be transferred from one car to another.

 

Yes. A pre-installation inspection/rectification procedure must be completed.

 

A typical compressed natural gas (CNG) conversion can be completed within one day.

 

CNG vehicles can be refueled at any of the compressed natural gas (CNG) stations throughout Trinidad . Operators of large fleets of vehicles may consider a private refueling station where vehicles are refueled overnight. Below is map which shows public refueling station throughout Trinidad .

ACL has a CNG station in Arima located on the O'meara Industrial Estate.

 

SUGGESTED CYYLINDER APPLICATIONS

 

•  The driving Rang from the cylinder depends not only on the size of the engine, but also on the condition of the vehicle.
