Three-Quarter Tank Rule to Malaysia For CNG Cars
Sunday, 1st January 2012
The 1992 three-quarter tank rule was previously exempted to compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles and petrol-CNG vehicles. Now the rule applies to all petrol and CNG fuel supply tanks of Singapore-registered motor vehicles leaving Singapore. The Singapore Customs said the extension is because CNG becomes a dutiable fuel. The Minister for Finance said the excise duty of S$0.20 per kg will be imposed on CNG. Also the CNG pump prices will also include duty and Goods and Services Tax (GST).
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is one of the lowest cost and environment friendly alternative fuels available. More than 12 million cars in the world are driving on CNG. The regular petrol car need is a CNG Conversion Kit, Cylinder Valve, and a BIG Cylinder (Storage Tank).
