8 things to verify before you hand over your car for CNG or LPG conversion in Bangladesh.
Government Approval
Verify the installer is Petrobangla or Explosives Department licensed. Ask to see the physical approval certificate.
Authorized Brand Dealer
Confirm they are an authorized dealer or installer for the specific kit brand being installed — not a gray-market reseller.
Leak Testing Post-Install
Insist on a full leak test using approved gas detection equipment immediately after installation before taking the vehicle home.
Written Warranty
Ensure a signed warranty covers both parts and labor for a minimum of 12 months, with the cylinder warranty separately documented.
Cylinder Certification Stamp
Check that the cylinder carries a valid BSTI or ECE R67/R110 certification stamp with the manufacture date visible.
Sequential Kit for Modern Cars
If your vehicle is 2000 or newer with EFI or VVT-i, insist on a Sequential kit. Never accept a traditional kit for a modern engine.
After-Sales Service Network
Confirm the workshop can service the system, replace injectors, update ECU software, and handle post-installation tuning.
Hydrostatic Test History
For secondhand vehicles, request the cylinder's hydrostatic test records. Cylinders must be tested every 5 years by law.
This checklist is for guidance only. Always verify your installer's credentials directly with Petrobangla or the Bangladesh Explosives Department before proceeding.

Understanding the mechanical difference between older carburetor gas setups and modern multi-port injector gas systems.
| Technical Feature | Traditional (Venturi / Mixer) | Sequential Injection System |
|---|---|---|
| Operation Mode | Gas is manually mixed with air in a venturi chamber before entering the intake. | Gas is micro-metered and sprayed directly at each cylinder valve by computerized injectors. |
| ECU Integration | None. Fully mechanical regulation of gas flow. | Integrated. Emulates gasoline injectors based on car's native engine computer readings. |
| Engine Compatibility | Older Carburetor or basic EFI engines (Pre-2000 models). | Modern EFI, VVT-i, Dual VVT-i, and multi-valve engines. |
| Performance Drop | 12% – 18% power loss; sluggish throttle response. | Only 3% – 5% power loss; acceleration feels identical to octane. |
| Backfire Risk | High. Air-gas mixture in manifold can combust, damaging plastic air filters. | None. No gas mixture stays in the intake manifold. |
| Fuel Efficiency | Lower. Manual adjustment leads to fuel wastage. | Maximum. Precisely metered delivery prevents gas waste. |
| Estimated Pricing (BD) | ৳35,000 – ৳45,000 (Cheaper) | ৳50,000 – ৳65,000 (More expensive, but pays back in fuel/engine health) |
Unlike traditional setups, sequential kits use laptop diagnostics to map fuel curves. Visit your workshop every 5,000 km to clean the gas injector filter and recalibrate the ECU software map.
Gas has a higher ignition temperature than petrol. Use high-conductivity iridium spark plugs and check ignition coils regularly. A weak spark will immediately trigger misfires and sluggish gas running.
Under Bangladesh Explosives Department laws, every CNG/LPG steel cylinder must undergo hydro-testing every 5 years. Never use expired or uncertified cylinders, as high pressure (~200 bar for CNG) poses severe safety risks.
