Auto-LPG Conversion Thread

[Xt7]

saan niyo na po ilalagay yung spare tire niyo? dun din sa likod kasama ng bagahe (kung may laman) ??

tanong ko rin sa mga fortuner na nagpalagay ng LPG tank sa ilalim, saan niyo na nilagay yung spare tire??

[Mile2]

Kasya yung spare tire sa likod ng 3rd row seats, kahit naka-inclined pa. Sa akin nakatali lang ngayon. Puede mong gawang ng DIY folding tire bracket/holder for easy baggage loading if needed.

Sir, magkano po inabot ng conversion para sa V6 na cefiro? anong kit po, SGI? TIA!

more than 30K inabot sa eroom. Nagtaas yata sila ng kaunti etong June.

[ragsak]

64k is just way too much. Let us know how BigMIKE's conversion of your wife's car went (hindi wives ha :D ).

*ragsak, if your Cefiro is white, baka car ninyo ang kasabay nung conversion nung Revo ko (last week of May). Grabe ang engine bay nung Cefiro, ang sikip! Hirap siguro i-convert yun.

Silver yung CEfiro ko, Pao, kupas na lang at marumi kaya parang white. Yung Lancer and white.

haaayyy..
Kawawa naman kameng taga-batangas, kahit na gustuhin man naming makatipid by having our rides converted to LPG-powered, di pa rin practical. Because as of now, I haven't seen any installer nor refilling station eh.

If luluwas pa naman kme for the installation, check.tune-up sa intaller, as well as for refilling, e di hindi rin nakatipid.

I'm really hoping that the installers (reputable yet cost-efficient) branch out here para naman ma-enjoy na rin naming mga batangueño ang full
benefits of auto-gas (lpg).

If meron na po pla nito near my area (Lipa City) na alam nyo which I'm unaware of, kindly inform me.

Maraming salamat!
Drive safely, everyone!

maroon (or red?) cefiro bro yung nakita ko sa EROOM nun na kasabay ng gold volvo SUV at gray city. yung black cefiro (brougham pa nga yata yun) sa EROOM, hindi kay mike yun, kay David Do yun. David Do (korean) yung representative ng EROOM from Korea and ang office nya is sa EROOM sa may Highway 54 along edsa infront of SM Megamall. pati yung maroon na city ng EROOM, kay David din, ginagamit lang nila mike as company service car. ang kay mike dun is yung gold old skool (70's or 80's) na benz.

Silver yung Cefiro ko bro, Sabi kasi ni Boy Malaga, yung chief installer ata yun, pangalawa na daw yung akin na Cefiro. Akala ko bagong blue Subaru Impreza kay Mike?

Here's a sample of a Toyota Fortuner converted to auto-lpg:

The spare tire goes into the rear storage.

Just toying with the idea of converting an old '96 Toyota Corona 2.0 li EX Saloon? Would a SGI kit work on it?

mejo matagal na din sila (EKOGAS) pre, dati sa may mayon ang location nila, lumipat ng mindanao ave. sila ang nagi install ng LPG kit option sa Toyota Ortigas, Hertz Rent a Car, ken-Ken Taxi and R. Santos Transport. isa kasi yan sa mga pinag tanungan ko dati bago ako magpa install ng LPG kit. Sa Mindanao Ave., katapat ng AutoLPG refilling station yung Ekogas, client din nila kasi ang AutoLPG. May nakasabay ako dati, nung nagpapakarga ako kila sharon, na taxi na avanza na sa Ekogas nagpa install e (kasi may Ekogas na sticker sa likod). though di ko nakausap yung driver kasi may pasahero e...

also kanina nga pala, yung travel ko from novaliches-batangas city via SLEX and Star toll balikan P800 lang gastos ko sa LPG...ANG TIPID! dati nung mga P45 pa yata ang unleaded balikan ko dun P1200 e.. though badtrip sa edsa kaninang mga 8:30am, sobra traffic mula GMA hanggang guadalupe...

It can be done although installing the SGI kit on the Corona's 3S engine will be difficult due to the tight spaces around the intake manifold.

Also, I am not sure if the 96 corona is equipped with oxygen sensors. If not, it will have to be retrofitted.

Anyone done something like this to their LPG tank?

dati ko pa gusto gawin yan Sir GH since nung sinabi mo pa dati na gawing parang beer keg ...well not necessarily like that basta yung thought na mai disguise yung tank hehehe kaso mukhang kailangan din i dismantle yung tank from mounting para makulayan ng buo e...

[ghosthunter]

Hmmm...

Just had an idea. Maybe any future auto-lpg installations can have their tanks modified to look like something else before it's installed?...

example:
-the donut tanks can be air-brushed painted to look like a spare tire or a doughnut (edible type) or even a big yellow SMILEY.
-cylinder tanks can be air brushed to look like a wooden beer barrel and you could even glue a beer spout on it to complete the look.

not a bad idea. . .or a capsule drug design for cylindrical tanks. . .

tanong ko sa mga naginstall ng donut tank sa sedan:

i'm thinking of opting for the donut tank kaya lang one concern is hindi ba apektado ang height sa likod ng sasakyan?. . .i can imagine it has a higher effective weight owing to the longer lever arm as compared to the cylindrical tank which sits a lot closer to the location of the rear wheel. . .we are talking about close to 30 kg for a 55-liter donut tank (considering that lpg has a density half that of water) plus the weight of the steel tank

kung me epekto, what do you do to offset it?. . .tia

no "feel-able" effect on the suspension on our donut equipped cars.
