Auto-LPG Conversion Thread

[ezem]

i'm very much interested in this lpg conversion for my gas-guzzling revo (2.0L 1RZE). major concern ko lang ay yung refilling stations since i'm located outside manila. what type is the most suitable for me, open, closed or sgi. i'm running on average of 1,200kms/month.

since tumaas ang lpg (for gas stoves) ng 2/kg kahapon, tumaas din ba autolpg? magkano na ba per liter ngayon?

si paolorenzo din revo auto nya (2.0L 1RZE) and ang sabi sa kanya ni bigMike e di adviseable ang SGi dun or something like that, just try to back read a li'l bit, mga 2-3pages back makikita nyo dun sir yun advice ni bigMike

re: LPG price increase, i think sir household LPG lang yun, yung ginagamit sa mga bahay, hindi yung auto-LPG, kila mam sharon P27/L pa din ang auto LPG

ask ko lang, may konting ingay kasi akong nariring , na hindi ko naman naririnig dati, sa newly installed lpg device ko. normal ba talaga yun? i would usually hear yung ingay na yun pag tumatapak na ko sa brakes or slowing down. wala kasi yung ingay na yun nung naka gasoline pa ako. i would describe the noise like a stomach rumbling. ano po kaya ito?

san kayo nagpa convert sir? balikan nyo yun nag convert, within warranty pa naman yan...

2 downsides of Autogas based on wikipedia.

There are two downsides. Firstly it has a lower energy density than either petrol or diesel, so the equivalent fuel consumption is higher, but since many governments impose less tax, it is still usually more cost effective. Secondly, some designs of internal combustion engine require the lubrication of petrol or diesel with lead or lead substitute, and LPG's lack thereof can damage valves or shorten their life.

re: lower energy density...yup, yan yung sinasabi nila sir GH na if you're having a 9km/L fuel mileage on petrol, sa LPG mga 8km/L yan pero with the price difference, makakatipid talaga sa LPG, if my computations are right, makakatipid ako ng atleast 33% in which is a big savings already

re: petrol/ diesel lubrication...that goes with some designs of the ICE, maybe we can check what ICE's are those. there are more advantages than the disadvantages on LPG conversion, hence the gov't of australia, korea, turkey, italy, etc (nevermind our gov't though hahahaha) would not encourage its people to have their cars converted to LPG.
