Man converts fuel cars to use gas
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian man posted a video showing cars converted to use compressed natural gas, CNG.
In a video posted on TikTok by @daddymickeylove, the man showed the cars that would run on CNG instead of petroleum motor spirit, PMS.
The clip showed that the gas cylinders were housed in the boot of the cars that had been converted. The boots of the vehicles were opened to reveal the cylinders, but it was not clear if that would be the permanent position.
The position of the cylinders made some TikTok users raise safety concerns, with some saying it may not be safe.
