FAQ’s
Q: Is Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) safe?
A: Yes.
Natural Gas is a very safe fuel and is used by millions
of Americans every day. CNG has a higher ignition
point combined with a narrow flammability range
making it safer relative to gasoline. If a CNG leak
exists, the gas, being lighter than air, will dissipate
into the atmosphere, quickly eliminating the threat of
combustion.
