I was doing some reading on compressed natural gas conversions for vehicles. Natural gas has many problems to overcome before mass adoption but from a boosted perspective it looks like a great fuel.
Pros
1. 130 octane
2. No pump needed
3. Doesn’t need to vaporize
4. Pressure can be raised for high consumption (hp)
5. Higher Air fuel ratio 16.8:1 vs 14.6:1 gas
Cons
1. Expensive compressors
2. No storage (mostly illegal to transport extra tanks)
3. Almost no available away from home except fill stations in some places.
4. Expensive conversion
5. Almost no history
Anyone ever thought of doing a conversion on a boosted car?
