There are many things that can be done to For example;
Service the vehicle a regularly scheduled intervals.
Make sure to use a quality CNG conversion system from CNG United so that you can be certain that your CNG conversion system will be properly matched to your engine according to its liter size and horse power.
Properly tune and calibrate the vehicle after your CNG conversion.
If your vehicle is in good running condition before one of our high quality CNG conversion systems is installed and if our CNG conversion system is installed properly, preferably by a certified CNG United installation technician, then you should experience the same level of performance on CNG as you do now on gasoline. In some cases when operating a CNG powered vehicle up a long inclining roadway, you may on occasion find yourself pressing more heavily on the gas pedal to maintain the same highway speed. The technical reason for this is because CNG has slightly less kinetic energy than Petroleum Fuel (Gasoline). Except for such limited occasions, you will find your vehicle performs just as well running on CNG as it does running on gas or diesel, except that you will be paying a lot less at the pump to purchase a gallon of CNG!
The installation of a CNG conversion system in your vehicle consists of placing and securing brackets that support the CNG gas tanks, placing and securing the CNG tanks in the brackets, configuring and running high pressure CNG hose lines along the vehicle chassis from the CNG tank to the engine compartment, installing various system components under the hood, installing the wiring harness, completing the post-installation checklist and performing vehicle laptop calibration / tuning and testing to ensure optimal post-installation vehicle performance.
The CNG tank is shaped similar to a scuba tank used by a diver to breath oxygen under water. The size of the CNG tank can vary depending on individual customer preferences and vehicle usage patterns / needs. Some CNG tanks may be longer and thinner or shorter with a larger diameter. The placement of a CNG tank in a vehicle is a decision that is typically discussed beforehand by the vehicle owner and the installation technician. After taking into consideration the purpose and utility of the vehicle, in most cases, CNG tanks are placed in the most logical location in vehicles. For example, in a passenger vehicle, the CNG tank is typically placed in the back of the trunk space nearest to the back of the rear passenger seat. In the case of an SUV, the CNG tank is typically installed behind the last row of seating and immediately inside the back entry door/s. In the case of a typical light truck. The CNG tank may be installed in a sideways position directly behind and underneath the rear window in the truck bed. Different CNG tank sizes can also be used to accommodate custom locations for placement of the CNG tanks such as underneath the truck bed where the spare tire is stored, or a long slender CNG tank may be selected for installation along the driveshaft to minimize or eliminate any need to use other available space.
Many factors need to be considered to accurately answer this question such as the utility of the vehicle, the driving conditions, whether the vehicle is operated under heavy loads/weights, whether the vehicle is used to go down into a deep mine and return with tons of load, etc. Generally speaking, if a 50/50 ratio of diesel to CNG use is great! Ratios of diesel to CNG of as much as 60% – 40% diesel to CNG and even 70% – 30% diesel to CNG have been recorded. Note: The elimination of any more Diesel fuel from the equation above these ratios in favor of using even more CNG than diesel may result in a loss of vehicle performance. Since diesel fuel contains more Kinetic energy than CNG, the ratio of diesel to CNG that is used to run a vehicle matters, particularly when running a vehicle under a heavy load.
