Rising Fuel Costs: Important Safety Tips for Installing External CNG Kits

Share This News

With petrol and diesel prices on the rise, many vehicle owners in India are switching to CNG-powered vehicles for better fuel efficiency and cost savings. However, experts caution that installing external CNG kits without proper registration and safety measures can pose serious risks to both drivers and passengers.

One of the most common mistakes people make is failing to register the external CNG kit after installation. According to regulations, vehicle owners must update their registration certificate (RC) to reflect the installation of the kit. Failing to do so can lead to the risk of insurance claim rejection in case of an accident.

Another major concern is the use of substandard CNG kits from unauthorized dealers. Low-quality or improperly installed kits can damage the engine and increase the risk of gas leaks and fire hazards. To ensure safety, experts advise vehicle owners to only install government-approved CNG kits from authorized centers.

After installation, it is mandatory to obtain a CNG certification from the authorized installer, which serves as proof that the kit is legally installed and safe to use. Additionally, regular maintenance and leak checks are essential for safe operation.
