  Hmm .. Then what about the Dart? Its rear engined as well and the aircon pod is at the back too.

  You need to see what other components are in the front, how heavy they weigh, the length of the rear overhang among other factors.

  Then your argument does not stand and you are contradicting yourself.

  Then now you mention that there are many other factors and the air con does not necessarily need to be at the other end of the bus.

  Sorry then, let me clarify
  
  Basically there are several factors which bodybuilders have to consider before they place the aircon on the bus:
  
  1) Length of overhang (rear and front)
  2) engine position
  3) Chassis structure and weight (ie how much weight it can take)
  
  Basicallly for buses with rear engine and relatively short rear overhang (like Dart and Olympians), the aircon can be placed at the rear as the bus is less likely to lean to the rear than a bus with a longer overhang (Physics: moments), also for these buses, the front load may be acting as a counterweight.
  
  However, for buses with a longer overhang, chances are that the bus may lean to the rear if the air con is placed at the back. CNGs are exceptions as the tank is also quite heavy.

  Oh yes. Great thing you clarified. Any idea how heavy an aircon unit is? and how heavy the CNG tank is.

  CNG can store 400l but 200l is the MAX for each time the CNG goes into JI for a pump so its not really that heavy even if its filled..i wonder if they fill to the brim, will the CNG have its acceleration affected cos some CNGs acceleration is rather poor when many people are onboard
