Where are you finding tanks for that price?
I have a CNG Tempo and was looking to double the range, it has a 3.5gge 3600psi tank and I wanted to install a 2nd one, they're like $2k on their own not including the rest of the system under the hood..
Other than that sort of cost, I love CNG. The only two things I worry about with it are user training (filling is a different process, and let's face it there are people who can't figure out how to use a toilet without peeing on the seat - but have drivers' licenses) and at least on my Tempo there's WAY WAY less power available, like i'm talking half the horsepower. May have something wrong with mine though
I'm taking it to a CNG mechanic as soon as my tax refund shows up.
