To those who are looking to converting to auto-LPG but has personal doubts about it's safety...

I have been driving my car converted to running on auto-LPG since Aug 2006. The auto-LPG kit type I am using is an open-loop mixer type kit with EFI emulator. It is roughly the same kit used by most lpg fueled taxi cabs in the metro.

I have generally no problems related to it except I have to keep my engine's air intake filter clean more often than otherwise. I have NEVER experienced LPG leaks into the passenger cabin. I only experience one LPG leak but that was contained by the guage seal. The leak was quickly fixed by the LPG installers by tightening the bolts that held the metal pipes to the tank in the trunk.

My car has been driven out of town as far as to Baguio (from Metro Manila) and back running on LPG. I enjoyed driving around Clark & Subic during a long week-end while fueled by LPG the entire time. I have driven up to a speed of 165kph on the Star Tollway while fueled by LPG which is not bad since my top speed achieved with gasoline is also 165kph. I have kept my car maintenance schedule just the same as when the car was still running on gasoline although I could have extended oil change schedule due to the fact that LPG keeps the motor oil cleaner longer than gasoline.

The only downside I have experienced with auto-LPG is the decreased space in my trunk which is not really bad since I still have enough space for a week or two worth of groceries or for a medium sized luggage.

And for those who might say an auto-LPG car might explode if someone crashes from the rear of the vehicle, the auto-LPG fuel tank is much more stronger than the factory gasoline tank is most cars. In the worst case scenario, the LPG tank would just deform but still keep it's contents. A standard gasoline tank would have long ruptured and poured out it's contents on the surrounding area.

So for those who are still deciding, maybe it is already high time to get serious about converting to auto-LPG to help you start saving on the cost of your vehicle's fuel. 40% savings on the cost of fuel is not something you can ignore, right?
