Changing Car Registration from Gas to Petrol

[thelynxxxx]

I recently had the CNG tank and gas system removed from my car, but I've been told that I can't re-register the vehicle till the change is reflected in the vehicle registration book (currently shows fuel type as CNG). Now, the complicating factor is that I am not the legal owner of the car. It is registered to my brother-in-law who lives in a distant province. Can I make the change at the ministry or does the owner have to be there? What if he sends me the book and a signed copy of his Thai ID card and I go to the ministry with those in hand? Would that work? 

 

If that is not possible, I suppose we'll have to a) drive to his house and go to the nearest ministry of transport to do the change, or b) get the vehicle transferred into my name. If we go the latter route (b), can I simply pick up the required transfer papers from the ministry and mail them to him to sign over the vehicle and once he sends them back, proceed to the ministry? Once that's done, I can then proceed with changing the fuel type in vehicle registration book. 

 

Any guidance would be much appreciated. 

 

Thank you.

That should be OK but your DLT and ask if they need anything else.

would a Local even bother even thinking that deeply?

how does the 'Department ever to know the fuel is different? who told them?

No big external visual differences are there? the fuel filler cap, the exhaust pipe... all the same

 

Leave a fake (and much much smaller) looking tank in the boot, and no one will know

The book says it's a CNG vehicle. In order to get the registration renewed, technically, gas vehicles need to be inspected every year, with the inspecting authority leaving a sticker under the hood. In my town, I could not find a single PRB place that would register the vehicle without the sticker from a certified gas authority. And now that I've removed all the gas stuff, they still won't register it because the book says CNG!

recently removed lpg tank from car, left the car to tor.ror.or agent near DLT(mochit back alley), told them so, and renewed registration with minimal effort.
