The video shows that the gas cylinders were housed in the boot of the cars that had been converted.
The boots of the vehicles were opened to show the cylinders, but it is not clear if that would be the permanent position.
The position of the cylinders made some TikTok users raise safety concerns, with some saying it may not be safe.
Others, however, said they are interested in converting their cars so as to start using CNG instead of PMS which has become expensive.
One user said that converting a fuel car to use gas could cost N450k in Abuja.

Company increases salary because of fuel subsidy
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria reported that a company said it would top up the salaries of its staff because of fuel subsidy removal.
The increase, according to the company director, is to augment staff earnings due to the hardship created by fuel subsidy removal.
The story went viral as Nigerians on social media appreciated the director for the kind gesture.
