Cars that run on Compressed Natural Gas or Propane can go "KA---BOOM easily.

IS THIS PROGRAM IN YOUR STATE?

So you are in the market of buying a new car or truck that runs on Compressed Natural Gas or Propane can?

In Arizona our Governor Jane D. Hull Is not telling us everything about the cars that can go "KA---BOOM.

No one is telling car buyers of all the hazards. All these vehicles that will run on Compressed Natural Gas or Propane are a potential death trap waiting to happen. For instance, one liquid gallon of propane will expand to 270 gallons of explosive vapor if released in to the air. How many people would want a one gallon fuel tank?

None of these so called safe cars have a leak detector.

So what will happen if you car has a small leak and you do not know it, and you park it in your garage for the weekend. Monday morning you start your so called safe truck and open the garage door and kA BOOM from the gas fumes.

If you were to look underneath one of these vehicles, it would not take a mental giant to tell you, this tank is not safe for you and your family. For example, it's the lowest part of the Ford Expedition when just two people get in it and likewise for many other vehicles. Did anyone tell you that these trucks with the Compressed Natural gas tank has 4400 hundred pounds in it?

I would not want to hit something and bust off the main valve that holds this explosive fuel in the tank. There is no safety check valve to stop it from blasting out in the event of a reck.

Assuming the program continues, think twice before signing up with a car that could go KA----BOOM. If you want copies of these life saving pictures and info on cars that go KA--BOOM e-mail me at StickBOGART@badbusinessbureau.com
