Methane is sold in Ukrgaz CNGFS network as a high-quality motor fuel.
Methane - is a compressed natural gas. It does not require any recycling for use in engines. It is only compressed under a pressure at the compressor filling stations, dried, filtered and cooled to normal temperature. Methane is stored in cylinders in a gaseous state compressed under a pressure of 20-22 MPa. The octane number according to the motor method for methane is 110.
At all our CNGFSs, timely gas drying and column calibration are performed, which allows to fill the car with an accurate volume of high-quality gas.

Technological advantages:
- Consistently high octane rating;
- Reducing the load on the elements and components of the cylinder-piston group due to the absence of fuel knocking and, accordingly, increasing the engine life by 1.5 times and the oil drain interval by 1.5 times;
- Easy maintenance of methane-powered vehicles;
- Minimum costs for the repair and operation of methane-powered vehicles.
Environmental:
- Reduction in emissions of toxic substances;
- Natural gas is second only to hydrogen and electricity in its environmental friendliness.
