Being used in different climates and areas and because of the susceptibility of natural gas, these automobiles have always been vulnerable in accidents. Based on the statistics from reliable sources and scientific methods, this researchtries to present the order of importance of CNG fuel system parts in accidents. The results of this research will reveal the priority of making thesystem parts safe.
