Instead of burning gasoline or diesel fuel, a consumer would like to fuel his/her vehicle with natural gas. To provide sufficient range, the gas is packed in and stored in the vehicle in hassled tanks which has the capacity to hold up to 3,600 psig.  Natural Gas is a perfect fuel resource for several reasons and it includes safety.
