Key Questions Answered Powered by Ask News18 What caused the CNG station explosion? Preliminary information from the fire department suggests that the explosion at the CNG station in Tikri Kalan may have been caused by a CNG cylinder. The incident occurred while gas was being transferred from a refilling truck. Are CNG stations safe for public use? CNG stations can pose safety risks, as evidenced by a recent incident in Delhi where one person died and several were injured after a CNG cylinder exploded during refilling. CNG is a highly flammable gas stored under high pressure. Static electricity from clothing or seats can create a risk in a gaseous environment. For safety, passengers are often asked to exit vehicles during refilling. Additionally, there are risks of leaks, increased pressure, and overheating in CNG cars, especially in hot weather.
