How do I re-certify the CNG tank in the Freedom 125?

What engine does it get; fuel efficiency of the Freedom 125?

When run on CNG the Freedom 125 managed to achieve a 0-80kph speed in 18.04 seconds and did it 15.44 seconds when fueled by petrol. However, in-gear accelerations were a lot close with both fuels being only milliseconds apart.
