Using NGV CNG in Malaysia
It’s not that I spend so much on petrol, just about RM330 monthly, so some friends ask me why I wanted to install an NGV / CNG system for my car. The investment will pay for itself within 17 months at the present petrol/gas price differential.
In Malaysia, it’s called Natural Gas for Vehicles (NGV) and elsewhere it’s referred to as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
It’s about greening the earth and reducing the carbon emissions and setting an example for my future generations. What have you done?.
I finally decided today to go install at CityNGV in Setapak for 4 reasons - 1. I met Jessie the owner’s wife and she explained clearly to me the different options. 2. CityNGV pricing at RM4,200 was cheapest among the other 2 installers 3. They offered Credit Card payments at the same pricing as cash and also offered 0% Easy Payment Plans. 4. CityNGV is about 2km from my home, so it’s easy for servicing.
I first confirmed the best TA mixer from Argentina & a 77L semi fibre tank for RM4,750, but after measurements, found the tank took up the whole boot space and covered the spare tyre.
So I changed to a 55L semi fibre tank, which could fit directly to the back of the boot, just behind the rear seats, leaving me lots of space. I paid a RM300 cash deposit, and my scheduled installation date is August 12.
Meantime, my nearest Petronas station in Melawati, about 2km from my home will start selling NGV from this friday, so I guess the universe is making it easy for me.
Will update you more with some photos after the installation.
