my car ran on CNG at one time. But I had it removed. it was useless, in canada the prices are almost comparible to regular gas, plus I didn't have the tank at the time. I'm willing to bet if you haven't used it in a few years, the seals and all are shot. no point in keeping it around.

Word, rip it out. It's a fun little weekend project, right Keith. Just remember to reconnect the O2 sensor wires  .

haha, what SVTCANUK is saying, we mad a CEG mod meet to remove the CNG kit. for a whole week I had the car and it was running like piss. when we seemed to had to forgotten to reconnect some 02's. lessons learned.
SVTCANUK and the others who helped made it look easy, but if you are going to tackle it, make sure you have some very knowledgable people (like I did).
all in all I'm happy its gone, and the car runs smooth just the same. maybe saved some time on the track to

I'm not sure if house gas pressure would be enough to fill a car tank anyways.
