Is it a myth or do CNG V70 Volvo really exist?!
I'm new to this forum and have been trying to buy a CNG 60, 70 or 80. Preferably a V70 estate. I've a home fill set-up used now for my Land rover and reckon on getting a CNG Volvo.
But... can I find one? Not ever. I know these are rarer than rocking-horse poo, but does anyone know how many came into the country? http://www.greencarsite.co.uk/GREENC...NG-Biofuel.htm I can get the LPG model easily enough, but it's CNG I want. Can you hear my frustration? I've been trying to get one one for nearly six months. Please, anyone know. Anyone wnat to sell me theirs? Last edited by CNGBiFuel; Aug 31st, 2012 at 08:47. |

They do exist, but they're very rare. There are two factory Bi-Fuel S60s on eBay at the moment. If memory serves correctly, they were all 2.4 140bhp models.
cheers James

Yes I've been watching Ebay, and Autotrader, as for the Bifuel, I don't think they're too rare, far from it, there's more available than anyone would need, until you say you want Bifuel CNG.
Aside for Googling once a week, and checking Autotrader, and Ebay, I'm not sure where else to look. Any suggestions? |

The CNG ones are rare - I saw one once on autotrader, can't remember if it was a S60 or V70 through.
It's out of date now, but here was one that was once for sale http://www.greencarsite.co.uk/4sale/...vo-cng-v70.htm Last edited by reggit; Aug 31st, 2012 at 15:33. |

The problem with CNG was, unless you had the facility at home, that there were precious few filling stations that sold the stuff!
So that I guess meant that very few cars were ever sold new, hence now they are as rare as hens teeth. Why not look at getting a standard car converted? http://www.cngvehicles.co.uk/volvo-c...n-details.html Cheers Jack |

How many CNG fill up points are there in the UK as I can't see I have ever noticed one?
