1. Natural gas is compressed and enters the vehicle through the natural gas fill valve (receptacle).
2. It flows into high-pressure cylinders located in or under the vehicle.
3. In a bi-fuel NGV, a fuel selector on the dashboard permits selection of natural gas or gasoline to act as the fuel for the vehicle. A dedicated NGV operates solely on natural gas.
4. When natural gas is needed by the engine, it leaves the cylinders and passes through the master manual shut-off valve.
5. The gas goes through the high-pressure fuel line and enters the engine compartment.
6. Gas enters the regulator, which reduces pressure from up to 3,600 psi to near atmospheric pressure.
7. The natural gas solenoid valve allows natural gas to pass from the regulator into the gas mixer or natural gas fuel injectors. (Or, it shuts off the natural gas when the engine is not running or when, in the case of a bi-fuel vehicle, gasoline is selected).
8. In a bi-fuel NGV, natural gas mixed with air flows down through the gasoline carburetor or fuel injection system and enters the engine's combustion chambers. In a dedicated NGV, natural gas is injected into the engine's combustion chamber via specially designed natural gas fuel injectors.
9. In a bi-fuel NGV, when the driver selects gasoline, the conventional gasoline system is activated and the natural gas system is automatically shut off.

FAQ About NGV
More explaination about NGV
# Natural Gas for Vehicles (NGV)?
Yes! It is natural gas under pressure in cylinders, placed in your car boot compartment.
# Can my petrol cost be really cut by half?
Yes! The price of NGV is more than half the price of petrol. Petrol price is RM2.70 per litre while NGV price is 68 cents per litre.
# Will it affect my car's engine?
Not at all! NGV is a clean fuel. It makes your engine run cleaner and quieter. So, definitely NGV can reduce your service maintenance bill.
# But is it safe?
NGV has been in use overseas since 1945. Today, more than 1,000,000 vehicles use NGV all over the world. And there has not been any serious accident caused by NGV.
# But what about the storage cylinders?
Unlike a petrol tank, the storage cylinders are so strong they can withstand direct impact from a car speeding at 90 km/hr or a small calibre bullet.
# What about the gas inside?
The NGV inside is so much lighter than air, it just disappears into the air quickly in case of leakage. It also does not ignite easily.
# Where do I refill NGV?
At any NGV outlet. Look for the NGV sign.
# What about road tax for my car?
You get 25% deduction for your road tax. This clearly shows the Government's commitment to NGV.
# Can I use both - petrol and NGV?
Yes! You can use either NGV or petrol after fixing the NGV kit in your car.
# Where do I service my NGV car?
Presently, there are 5 servicing workshops. More will soon be added to the list.
# One last question. Is it environment-friendly?
Yes! It definitely is! No black smoke! No lead! It keeps the city's air clean and people healthy

Why NGV?
NGV stands for 'Natural Gas For Vehicles'. It is equivalent to natural gas supplied to power stations, industries, commercial establishment and households. NGV is an environmentally friendly fuel and has been proven to be lighter than air. It is specially developed to provide economic value to users without compromising on quality.
The advantages NGV can offer to vehicle owners include:
• Substantial savings (50%) in fuel cost
• Lower operating cost
• Contributes to a cleaner environment
• Extended travel range
Government Incentives & Legislations To Encourage Use of NGV
NGV is supported by the government with incentives and legislation to encourage vehicles owner to use NGV. NGV price is only 63.5 cent/litre equivalent of petrol, is cheaper than other fuels. NGV conversion kits are exempted from import duty and sales tax.
Reduction of road tax from existing levels:
• Monogas vehicle (NGV only) - 50% off
• Bi-fuel vehicle (Petrol & NGV) - 25% off
• Dual-fuel vehicle (Diesel & NGV) - 25% off
All these are major factors for potential owners to consider when making their vehicle fuel choices. However, what many owners may not be aware of is the safety record of NGV vehicles. NGV vehicles safety record compares favourably to other traditional fuels or alternative fuels available today. This is due to the superior (and still improving) technology, higher safety standards and the physical properties of NGV itself which makes it as safe or safer to use than petroleum-based fuels.

What Is NGV All About??
A Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) is a vehicle which runs on natural gas, a fuel which burns much more cleanly than gasoline. Because many countries are seeking alternatives to gasoline as a fuel source, the use of NGVs is growing around the world, as the cars are energy efficient and very clean burning. Consumers in some countries can purchase NGVs, and existing cars can also be converted to use natural gas. In addition, many companies offer fleet vehicles which run on natural gas, allowing cities to convert their cars, buses, and trucks to natural gas.
Natural gas is a gaseous combination of hydrocarbons, typically heavy on methane. Technically, natural gas is a fossil fuel, and it is considered a nonrenewable resource as a result. However, natural gas is fairly abundant and is generally cheaper than gasoline. In addition, it burns much more cleanly than gasoline, making it a better choice for vehicle fueling since it can dramatically reduce emissions. In some cases, an NGV can run on biofuel, a renewable form of natural gas made from biological material such as manure.
The design of a NGV is much like that of a conventional gasoline vehicle. The engine works in the same way, with explosions of gas firing cylinders. Instead of a singe gas tank, the NGV has several heavily secured tanks designed to hold compressed natural gas. In some cases, a NGV is equipped to take liquefied natural gas, which is cooled so that it becomes a liquid, allowing the car to store more energy. NGVs drive, look, and feel like ordinary cars.
Fueling the NGV is somewhat more complicated than fueling a conventional car. Drivers need to find a natural gas fueling station, or they can use a home fueling system which taps into household natural gas. Typically, a home fueling system can take hours to fill, since the gas needs to be pressurized before it enters the car. Manufacturers of NGVs hope that consumer demand will increase the number of available fueling stations, which is important, since the cars have a shorter range than their gasoline consuming counterparts do.
Although the NGV is not a complete solution to reliance on fossil fuels, the vehicles were hailed as a step in the right direction when they began to be more widely produced in the late 1990s. In many cities around the world, NGV buses, taxis, and public works vehicles can be readily seen on the streets.
