yeh zoheb last year a yellow mini Anudip Cab burst coz it had 2 cylinders as it was a Tata Indica V2, the driver bought an extra cylinder and after loading the car with fuel, the car blew up but no ppl were killed. But yo men, the pics u took are awesome. Man, I feel really bad for the owner. Did any1 die?

This could only happen if the car runs over speed and try to give more acceleration then the speed…

Cos my car is CNG convert car and I know this stuffs…

Actually it is better for the car… I wont harm to the engine unless your dirving the car roughly… CNG is good…

After converting into CNG, first 50 km will make treble cos of converting from oil to gas… after that the car is free… nice from every side… my car was converted into CNG 2 and half years back… but never yet went to the hospital for problem… its running in an excellent condition…
