Being natural, it does not lead to any harmful emissions. However, there are certain disadvantages that need to be considered while opting for natural gas as a substitute for artificial fuels. What are the disadvantages of natural gas?

  1. Firstly, it is a highly inflammable substance.
  2. Secondly, there are huge costs involved in transporting natural gas through pipes.
  3. Owing to the high percentage of methane in natural gas, it is highly combustible. There are high possibilities that methane explosions occur while extracting as also while actually using natural gas. Moreover, natural gas, being a colorless and an odorless substance, detection of gas leaks can be difficult. This makes the use of natural gas further riskier.
  4. Natural gas requires highly complex treatment plants and pipelines for its delivery. The pipelines transport the natural gas from the gas field to its actual site of use.
  5. Natural gas occupies four times the space of a gasoline-equivalent energy.

1991 mercury capri engine light came on and then car stalled won't start?

I am having the same problem. I had the fuel pump replaced and the problem was solved, but now the car stalls when I make a left turn. the engine light still goes on, but not when the gas tank is full. I suspect something malfunctioning in the gas tank, or in the fuel delivery system itself.
