If you are thinking of converting your vehicle to CNG-powered, take this free advice from me: DO NOT TRY IT.

Wetin my eye see the last 2 months, my mouth no go fit talk am finish. Not quite sure we are there yet.

Long story cut short: it damaged my engine and I had to spend N680,000 to replace the engine.

The challenges:

1. CNG is not readily available in Nigeria. The few stations that have it often have very long queues. It may take you up to an hour to fill up.

2. A full cylinder of CNG barely lasts for about 80km to 100km. Before you do a few movements you've run out of CNG. This means you'll have to go and queue up again for another hour.

3. Any small thing the CNG don begin leak.

4. CNG burns hotter than fuel so your engine may experience overheating. Mine did twice.

5. Mechanics do not yet know how to repair CNG powered vehicles so if you take a trip to your mechanic for repairs, by the time he is done with the repairs, your CNG system is messed up. This means you will also need to take a trip to CNG technician to have it fixed at extra cost.

6. Initial cost of installation is crazy. 1.5m for 6 cylinder vehicles. Sadly, installation companies are ripping off Nigerians. I later discovered that the actual cost of the full CNG kit is N800,000 and a technician can install it for you for N100,000. So with 900k, you can have it installed. But the companies installing it are charging Nigerians 1.5m for the conversion.

7. The oga kpata kpata of them all: it will damage your engine completely. I was driving peacefully when the engine suddenly packed up and I had to pay to have the vehicle towed to my mechanic. Later found out I was not the only one. According to my mechanic, I was the 15th victim of an engine damage caused by CNG.

That 900k or 1.5m you'll use to convert your vehicle to CNG, na your money you wan troway. Use the money and take yourself on a vacation or do give away and forget CNG.

Not every victim will be open to you like I have o. A word is enough for the wise.
