Auto-LPG Conversion Thread

[ghosthunter]

I just had a chat with Mike (Greenfuel) & his partner Warren.

They are offering open loop & SGI LPG kits for a rather good price.


Standard SGI kits would start at P39,000.
Open loop LPG kits at P18,000.
Open loop w/ EFI emulator LPG kits at P20,000


[SIZE="2"]Note: cars with plastic engine intake manifolds must use the SGI kit[/SIZE]

The standard kits come with a 40L tank. Bigger and donut tanks are available as options for a relatively small additional charge.

Their kits are based around Italian & Turkish LPG parts.

The SGI kits are fully automatic. It would start in gasoline then shift to LPG after a few seconds. If you run out of LPG, the vehicle with automatically shift back to gasoline. This kit from Greenfuel supposed to have a "lubrication" cycle where every 15 minutes of operation, the system will inject gasoline for a few seconds. This would help keep the gasoline fuel system in working order.

They showed me their Nissan X-Trail fitted with the auto-LPG SGI kit. The donut tank is where the spare tire used to be, so you will still have the same storage space are the rear. The engine-bay side conversion looks clean except the wiring might need something better than electrical tape, maybe some proper wiring wrap but otherwise it looks well done. The electronic control box is located under the dash so it won't be exposed to the heat in the engine bay. Starting the engine, the LED based indicator said the system was running on gasoline, after a short while, the four GREEN LEDs lit up indicating LPG operation and the relative content of the LPG tank as well.

Overall, the Greenfuel LPG kit seems to be a good deal in terms of affordability and quality of installation.
