Burning questions....

What is NGV?

NGV stands for ‘Natural Gas for Vehicle’. It stands for vehicle using CNG or rarely in some other countries LNG (liquefied Natural Gas).

CNG is the same as LNG except it’s in a liquid form.

In Malaysia, NGV uses CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and I was told it’s not the same as our cooking gas LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas).

After some digging in the net, I found out that CNG is made by compressing methane (CH4) extracted from natural gas (gaseous form) while LPG made from mainly propane mix with butane and it is in liquid form.

Please note that LPG can also be used as a substitute to petrol. In UK, it is called Autogas
