Tamil Nadu: Cars go up in flames, advisory issued against fuel conversion kits

New Indian Express  

CHENNAI: In the wake of recent incidents where stationary and moving cars went up in flames across the state, the transport department has cautioned against converting the fuel intake of internal combustion engine vehicles to run on compressed natural gas or LPG at unapproved centres. In an advisory issued on Tuesday, transport and road safety commissioner A Shanmuga Sundaram urged motorists to get the conversion done only at government-approved facilities. An analysis of vehicle fire accidents revealed that unauthorised fitting of CNG/LPG kits by third party or non-accredited institutions emerged as one of the key causes of the incidents, said Sundaram. The fire and rescue services department had recently alerted the transport department to incidents where light motor vehicles caught fire while parked or in transit.
