This happened in '07, so I was surprised this wasn't posted already (or maybe I missed it)

Besides the CNG Evo VI, they also have a CNG Evo IX.





My hat off to all the innovators out there.

I'm sure there are plenty of challenges for this to be truly practical (weight, space, cost, durability...), but the thought of running 120-130 octane equivalent plus Evo agility plus less-guilty-pleasure sounds interesting.

I'd be curious to know what kind of ball park figures we're talking about here with the latest technology, e.g. weight, cost, capacity of compostie tank etc... Any differences in compression, turbo size etc. that are best suited for getting the most out of CNG?

 

Guess its not a good idea to smog a ciggie while driving a CNG Evo? :P

 

Hehe, you'd think so Apparently the national agencies figure it's actually slightly safer than gasoline for a couple of reasons; if something goes wrong it dissipates much quicker than gasoline and has a narrow flammability range...

I've seen folks light up whilst refuelling their (gasoline) truck, so maybe some risk is appealing to some

 

I wonder how long that car in the top picture has been sitting there.... anyone notice the brake disk still glowing???!!

 

Very interesting...Wonder how much power it's making.

 

very nice looking car. i also wonder about the power output. pretty interesting

 

I would venture to say that the car is not sitting still. Its actually in the middle of a hairpin that sends it to the road/turnoff thats just infront of the car... Notice the pavement in the picture...

Either way, its probably easier to get this fuel in cali than E85. I would give it a try!

 

I was just about to get on here and ask if anyone knows about converting the Evo to CNG. If anyone has any info would you mind posting a link?

 

very cool

 

e85 or cng on evo ix what do u guys think???

 

CNG, 130 octane helz ya.

 

good question
