CNG Powered Trucks
A & J Flow Testing is proud to announce plans to
convert our fleet of work trucks to CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) power.
We are privileged to work in a place where we can run our fleet from the very gas we help
produce.
Advantages of Using CNG:
- CNG-powered
vehicles have lower maintenance costs when compared with other fuel-powered vehicles.
Due to the absence of any lead or benzene content in CNG, the
lead fouling of spark plugs is eliminated.
- CNG fuel systems are sealed, which
prevents any spill or evaporation losses.
- CNG increases the life of
lubricating oils, as CNG does not contaminate and dilute the crankcase oil.
- CNG mixes easily and evenly in air
being a gaseous fuel. CNG is less likely to auto ignite on hot surfaces, since it has a high auto ignition
temperature (540 °C) and a narrow range of flammability.
- CNG emits significantly less
pollutants such as carbon dioxide ,
hydrocarbons ,
carbon
monoxide , nitrogen oxides ,
sulfur
oxides , and particulate matter ,
compared to petrol.
- CNG releases over 1.6 times as much
energy as that released from petrol (or for the same amount of energy, CNG produces nearly 40% less CO2.)
Carbon monoxide emissions are reduced even further. Due to lower carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides emissions,
switching to CNG can help mitigate greenhouse gas
emissions.
- We have a truly abundant supply of
Natural Gas right here in the very land we live.
