Methane is an alternative to gasoline, used as fuel for vehicles. Despite the great difficulties associated with the technical implementation of the installation and use of vehicles, low fuel cost makes it extremely popular for use. Students should have real practical training which will enable them to perform without problems converting a vehicle from petrol to natural gas.
