Hello,

Finally, had my car(2000 Ford Lynx) fitted with LPG kit from Green AutoGas(Sharon).
And as of yesterday, already had it running for about 460Km(NLEX & SLEX drive). Since it was released Friday afternoon.

Ok naman running performance nya....so far....
(if i may add....i even feel n mas may sipa sya on LPG beginning *2000+ RPM vs regular Petrol .....or am i just imagining...will observe more)

"Mas Tumipid ba?" always the question asked to me pag may nakakakita sa LPG tank ko ;

Answer is : SAME FUEL CONSUMPTION with Petrol; (around ~9Km/Liter on this car). BUT MY COST of FUEL is NOW Way MUCH CHEAPER! ...
LPG : ~Php 27.xx vs. Unleaded : ~Php 47.xx ....he,he, doon tumipid

Also i feel, na may contribution din yung LPG Fuel itself on the running performance:drive1:........kasi nag pakarga ako kahapon s Pxtrxn(Extend),
i feel n mas smooth sya ha....
which the same observation ng friend ko with taxi unit (Manila Auto LPG naman ang preferred nya...wala daw SINOK taxi nya e pag un ang karga).

Many thanks to Sharon and to her friendly LPG conversion team.
(though may pending item pa ako with Sharon...)

I had a box made, para ma-maximize ko pa yung vertical space..
ok na kaya yang innocent looking box n pinagawa ko .....

[Redman7]

Nice box Redman7! Lusot na sana sa Trinoma parking... sticker na lang problema.

does converting my car to LPG affects its resale value? Either it will go up or go down?

In the current market, it might actually increase it's value but not by much, maybe up to 50% of the kit's installation cost. It would greatly depend on the buyer if they believe auto-LPG is safe to use. Sadly, many people still believe auto-LPG converted cars are rolling bombs.

Ghost Hunter, anong disguise sa tank mo? I dont think my idea of printing a skull and bones pattern on the tank then putting the words "Highly Explosive!!!"... then the words "Connect detonator here ----> " will work, will it?

Or will painting it Green and putting the letters NOx on it will work...

My tank's cover makes it look like a subwoofer box if I have the speaker grille installed.

One possible disguise is like what userfriendly mentioned, to paint it a shiny silver paint, add a spout at one end and add a San Mig Draft Beer sticker to make it look like a beer keg?

Oo nga no:sad:...

But i really like that sticker man... ; wont trade if for a dime...

So how do you access your spare tire?... remove the tank cover first?

So how do you access your spare tire?... remove the tank cover first?

i can still slide the spare tire out; tangal lang ung carpet at ung lawanet plywood.
planning on making a trunk floor cover with 1/2" plywood;
with hinged spare tire cover para madali access sa spare tire.

will post pics din after completion.

They are from different auto-LPG conversion companies.

bigmike is from Greenfuel.
website: www.greenfuel.com.ph
email: info*greenfuel.com.ph

Generally, engines with plastic intake manifolds will require the use of SGI kits. This basically covers most of the new cars being sold today.

LPG tank options would be the standard cylinder type tank and the "donut" tank. Typical capacities are 40, 50 and 60 liter tanks.

Hi Sharon and Mike are from two different companies, offering different sets.

Sharon is from Green AutoGas. They distribute the "Aldesa" brand of kits
BigMike is from Greenfuel, they distribute the "Ultragas" brand of kits.

What they do have in common is that they both distribute Turkish Kits. Both brands (like a lot of other turkish kits), use an Italian designed computer to regulate their SGI systems, thus they are sometimes dubbed "Turkish-Italian"...

Turkish kits are said to be as good as Italian kits but are cheaper...

[webmiester]

Here are some pics of some parts of the kits sold by Sharon and Mike

Regulator:
Aldesa :Attachment 13329

Ultragas:Attachment 13330

Valve:
Aldesa :Attachment 13331

Ultragas :Attachment 13332

As you can see, there are some slight differences with designs and all... These pictures I found on the internet, so the kits which are locally available might be a bit different.

[webmiester]

I don't know how form and mold make a difference in a kit. I think what it really boils down is performance and reliability and affordability. Most european kits pass through a certification process which are uniform for all kits that are sold and exported from europe including Turkey and Italy. I am not an expert on metal but I guess if you weigh each component there should be a slight variance. And as far as copper tubing is concerned this is pretty standard 6mm and/or 8mm with a specific thickness.

I think performance and reliability IS mostly dependent on form, mold, and materials used. Its hard to make nice moldings with cheaper metals, and cheaper metals are less reliable in high heat applications, such as those inside the engine. Also, if the moldings arent that well made and parts dont fit that well, engine vibrations may cause the parts to dislodge... then there are those who allegedly use tubings intended for household lpg systems instead of the ones for cars...

The european certification is something asian kits probably dont have. Of course, certification only guarantees that the product adheres at least to the MINIMUM requirement of the certificating body. The lesser quality products may qualify for the minimum requirement and still be certified, superior products may EXCEED the minimum requirement, be superior in many ways, but will only be given the same certification.

Asian kits are not certified. This does not mean that they have lesser quality altogether, they may be even superior (or maybe really inferior) but are just not certified yet. The lack of cretification may make the kits more affordable, as they dont have to spend for certificating their kits.
