Exter CNG: Single Cylinder vs Dual Cylinder Setup
For those unaware, the single-cylinder setup uses one large CNG tank, which often takes up most of the boot space, leaving very little room for luggage. In comparison, the dual-cylinder setup features two small cylinders instead of a large single unit. This way, it helps retain more usable space in the boot.
As seen in the table above, the dual-cylinder setups are a bit more expensive than their single-cylinder counterparts. But they are more practical solution, offering a good driving range without loosing too much boot space.
