Can a car be converted to run on natural gas?
1 Answers
Household cars can be converted to run on natural gas, but the necessary procedures must be completed and the pros and cons of the conversion should be considered. For cars with low usage frequency: Owners who use their cars infrequently don't need to convert to natural gas. Private cars used for commuting typically travel about 20,000 kilometers per year, but the cost of converting from gasoline to natural gas is relatively high. It takes a long time to recover the cost of the conversion, making it uneconomical for owners who use their cars infrequently. For cars traveling over 30,000 kilometers annually: Cars that travel more than 30,000 kilometers per year are more suitable for conversion to natural gas. However, if the car is already seven or eight years old, a comprehensive inspection and necessary repairs should be done before the conversion. Otherwise, the performance of these cars may decline due to aging components.
