Subsidy: Car converted to gas engine guts fire on highway

A car allegedly converted to use gas has overheated excessively, and caught fire, on a major highway raising serious questions about the safety of such changes.

The video, which was posted by a TikTok user identified as Michael Sunday on his account, has sparked a contentious discussion about the dangers of changing conventional fuel-powered automobiles to gas using a cylinder on social media.
