Why stick "CNG" sticker on cars??? Additional discount?

[Fivegear]

Realised more and more people switch to CNG. But what is the point to stick the greenish sticker on the car? Not as if they look nice like some decals?

[Ev0lutionz]

Tell others they got CNG and they want to save the earth. The sticker is so ugly.. And i rather use petrol.

If your bifuel car is mangled up, rescuers don't open doors to let you out. They cut cars up. If they don't know your car is a bifuel car with high pressure gas lines, they cut it, there goes your day plus some others brave souls.

to show other drivers they are more environment-friendly and save more cost

but what does that bother u? u even more

Warn ppl of vehicle carry dangerous gas. Just like those lorries carry flammable gas/liquid?

Petrol is also a dangerous fuel. See the petrol bowser carrying gasoline going to your favorite petrol station to top it up. Got more warning signs than a bifuel car. Did it cross your mind why a normal petrol car don't have the same signs as a Esso or Shell petrol bowser?

 

This is some strange world we live in.

that is for branded tag ley...

 

customise installation and gas is costing @ 1.70 ++

must advertise ma.....

 

on the serious note...any regulation requirement on this??

[Genie47]

It is mandatory. LTA and NEA made joint statement last month.

 

If your car blows up while some SCDF people are cutting you out, expect serious collateral damage. Not just from physical damage. The authorities might press charges if they get mad enough.

tis is something tat LTA ask TP and TP ask SCDF. in e end, all play taichi

[Genie47]

They didn't taichi lah. Made joint statement last month.

[Chongster]

required by law. period.

I find that it no use sticking the sticker on the front and back bumper coz if after an accident, both the bumper are smashed up, no one will know there is CNG tank inside.

[Kelpie]

It is actually quite a standard protocol to stick CNG label in other cities as well. It is certainly not for show in Singapore context. It serves a purpose but surely not a discount coupon like what the TS might have suggested .

They will know. SCDF guys check everything. Even when they cut the car, they have to note where the gasoline lines are as well if it is your regular monofuel car. There I've just said it, the SCDF guys take every precaution with a petrol car. They will notice the extra set of lines on a bifuel car as well.

 

The sticker? LTA, NEA and SCDF just want to be kiasu. Like I've said above, gasoline is already so dangerous. NFPA 704 diamond of 134 already. The warnings are all over the petrol bowser transporting it to your favorite petrol station. How come normal petrol monofuel cars don't have all these stickers?

Well, till new engines that run on water are developed, one can safely assume that an unmarked car should run on either petrol or diesel.
