Authorized CNG Dealer
In India, you can see a CNG dealer shop every 10 km but do not get your car’s CNG work done from there unless that shop is government-authorized. To check whether the CNG dealer is authorized or not, you have to look for the certificate issued by the government on the walls of his shop or at the reception. If you do not find the certificate anywhere at the dealer’s shop, then understand that the shop is not authorized.
Switch Off Your Engine While Refueling
CNG is lighter than air and it is also sensitive to static electricity. And if CNG comes in contact with static electricity, it can cause an explosion or fire. Therefore, you should always keep in mind that the engine of the vehicle should be turned off while refueling.
