CNG Car Explosion Injuries Three Persons in Edo
Three persons were injured in Benin Edo state when an illegally modified vehicle exploded at a NIPCO Compressed Natural Gas Station at Ikpoba Hill in Benin City. Sources say the explosion was as a result of substandard conversion kits, including cylinders used in the installation by the driver himself, who drove to the filling station to test the efficacy of the installation when the explosion occurred. The Presidential CNG Initiative notes that close examination of the cylinder in question shows it was welded and modified and not approved for CNG use.
