Auto-LPG Conversion Thread

[Djerms]

My fuel economy also dropped from 9km/l to 7km/l. Pero I actually had a blast with my first tankfull of LPG. Hataw hataw mode ako plus long idling hours because of demos to friends.

I'll try my econo mode this time and see where it gets me. Sabi ni Mike engine needs a little getting used to the new fuel (LPG). Kung hindi mag improve, I'll bring it back for re tuning.

Overall, very happy with my ride.

Note: I filled up with half tank remaining (around 21liters) before measuring FC. Not sure if this is accurate. Before kasi I measure my FC whenever I'm down 1/4 (32liters)

cant we request that this be made into a sticky? im seriously considering converting my 1.1 getz into LPG...

The mentioned thread is already a sticky in the Car Economy and Fuel Talk subforum.

As for converting your getz, it can be done but the only logical space for the tank is the sparetire well which can fit a 40L tank.

[pitbullz]

good. that should be handy for everybody...

i am monitoring the price of lpg now as well...

as for the 40 litres...i think thats ok since i pass by the LPG refuelling stations at buendia everyday.

i am actually now more concerned about the ROI and also about maintaining the warranty of my engine.

[tidus1203]

ROI kaya yan depende sa mileage mo pero since the Getz 1.1 in itself is quite econmical baka matatagalan lang but eventually maabot mo din yan...

[pitbullz]

yan nga nasa isip ko...medyo matagal nga...PLUS tumataas din ang LPG kahit na independently mined ang gas sa oil(usually)...dapat may tax break sa LPG dahil alternative fuel sya pero, wala!cibai

[ghosthunter]

If you are too concerned about ROI... don't be. Anyway the conversion recommended for Getz would be the venturi mixer type so it's cheaper than the SGI kits resulting in a quicker ROI period.

Also, if you can put a price on comfort riding in your own car as compared to commuting, maybe the price of the kit would make it worthwhile already.

Going back to my issue of decreased FC. I think I filled up my LPG tank too early. 21liters lang ang nalagay sa 50liter tank ko. I think it wont give me accurate FC reading. Dapat dineplete ko siya...

Excited kasi eh...hahaha. Ang mura ng LPG sa Petron Wack wack. Its only 31.9petot. Its my 2nd time to gas up and also my 2nd time to see a chick with her car running on LPG din..haha.

sa 40-liter doughnut tank, 80% or 32 liters lang pwede ikarga lpg.

nakakainis.. bat parang sumasabay na ang LPG sa pagtaas ng petrol.. tumaas na naman knina.. 32.93 LPG.. petrol rolled back 1 peso..

[pitbullz]

magkano naman kaya aabutin ang ganyan?

Di naman tumaas ah????

Kaka-refill ko lang kanina sa TOTAL shaw near JRU - P31.50 din kahit sa mga LPG station near E. Rodriguez and Timog P31.50 pa din.

I dont think tumaas today ang LPG. I refilled tonight, and di nagbago ang price at 31.++. Just had my ride converted today at greenfuel, (thanks to big mike, lorna and esp with ian, et al.) nagkaron ng madaming minor problems, but they made sure na ok na lahat before I left. maganda ang takbo, at same lang ang acceleration with petrol, though sa higher rpm (around 3K) medyo hirap na, unlike sa petrol. but generally, i know i will enjoy this setup since im really after on greater savings on fuel costs.

What I noticed is malaki ang price difference ng lpg sa pasig(31.++) at makati (33.++) sayang din yung almost 2bucks a liter.

[ghosthunter]

I guess since we have a lot of new "converts" (dang! sound like a religion)... the issue of price differences has come up.

Anyway, just monitor the Auto-Lpg price thread and also kindly contribute as well if you can.

At least someone does still give the effort to read the thread.

It's possible but for you to benefit fully from a SGI kit, you will need to have an oxygen sensor fitted. Then the LPG installer can link the sensor with their SGI system.

only major reason is 1999 and up cars have factory O2 sensors.

Ekogas has an SGI system which has its own oxygen sensor built-in and reduces the 4 cylinder rails into a single component. It is claimed to be a new tech in autogas conversion. Just learned from inquiry made a few days ago.

Landi Renzo of Macro LPG offers an SGI set-up that makes no issue of whether your car has O2 sensor or not.

Your thoughts on these please.

While they are priced about 20% more than the lower-priced SGIs mentioned in this thread, they offer options for those who insist on an SGI system (for performance and safety) regardless of what vehicle they have and whatever the cost will be.

sir GH,
[SIZE=3][SIZE=2] magtatanong lng about sa lpg convertion, plan ko ipaconvert yung cefiro elite2003,. makati area location ko at may dalawang malapit na lpg service center na nakita ko yung Denso at SKN, pero di ako makapag decide kung saan, if sa Denso kc may experience yung tropa ko na hindi maganda ang pagka convert tapos ayaw pa ipa backjob ng denso... pag sa SKN naman mahal ang charge nila, yung close loop na tinatawag nila di ko maintindihan kung SGI ba yun sa iba kc bubutasin daw manifold so parang SGI ba yun??[/SIZE][/SIZE]

Anong type ng LPG system at saan company maganda magpa convert , based on customer review and experience....thank's

That's what I was told, but the first time I refueled my donut tank, it was 39.9 liters.
The last refuel, after I ran out of LPG, I filled up 44 liters.

curious lang po kc nasa denso ngaun sasakyan ko for lpg conversion. ano po ba naging problema sasakyan ka tropa mo after the conversion at bakit ayaw ipa-back job ng denso? sabi denso may 1-year warranty daw lpg conversion nila. medyo parang kinakabahan tuloy ako ah...

[abetg]

Manood kayo sa Lunes sa TV Patrol (Karen Davila) 6:00PM.

Featured ang StarGas LPG kit installer.

Balita ko ipapalabas yung Innova coverted to LPG.

Paglilinaw lang po, di po sa akin yung Innova dahil kay GreenFuel ako nagpa-convert. Pero tsikoteer din ang may-ari nung Innova.
