may turbo/supercharged engine ba na nagpa-LPG? kasi sa inputs puros gas e...

**Djerms** · July 20th, 2008 06:48 PM

Latest FC I got is 8.8km/l which is close to my 9-9.5kn/l on petrol. Happy na ako but I still experience shuddering of engine on LPG.

**chuaa** · July 21st, 2008 09:06 AM

had my second fill...161 km 30 ltrs...so just about 5.4...last was 5.5...probably because i did not switch to gas as much as i did on my first tank....(wasnt as curious anymore about diff in drive between gas and lpg)..

one thing though...ive had some experience where my engine would cut off when i'm idling then stepping on the gas pedal (hard to describe...idling, then step slowly on gas..then before it revs up...the engine dies...) it happened to me thrice already...i think this occurs during long drive or in traffic conditions...could it have anything to do with engine temp??? on normal conditions (no traffic or just during short drives)..this doesnt happen to me ....anyone else experience this...

told greenfuel about this...they suggested i observe this first before they make any re tuning...

sorry guys. i think i got it all wrong.

i must have forgotten to reset my odometer.

well u see, i drove to subic yesterday. using nlex and sctex and drove around subic. i consumed 200++ kms already and my lpg gauge is already showing red light just on around 175kms. i have to fill it up later to get my hiway FC.
with those facts already. i can pressume i did not get an FC milleage better than 6km/l.

i drove nlex at around 110 - 120km. revving at around 3000rpm
drove sctex at around 130km. revs at 3500rpm.

sorry agian guys for the wrong info...

I own a 2003 Cefiro Elite and have it converted to LPG by EROOM/Denso in Makati. My FC is more or less 6+/km same as gas. So far so good. No appreciable change in power.

ok sir.
what kit do you have on your EK? emulator ba? do you make minor adjustments yourself? maraming salamat sa inputs.

**s_quilicot** · July 21st, 2008 05:07 PM

guys diba may ford e150 na nagpa convert into LPG sa website ng green fuel?

kamusta daw po ang feedback?

**1997** · July 21st, 2008 05:34 PM

Need Help... last week twice me nag pa full tank ng LPG ko sa Total Shaw Blvd... Then I notice na 2 light lang yung numilaw sa indicator... then yesterday nag pa full tank ako sa Greenfuel I notice na 4 light yung umilaw... Accurate ba toh? kasi when I computed for my LPG consumtion 4.5 KM/L lang... does this mean my consumtion is very high or Total gas station fill my tank half lang...

marami ata ang nakaka experience ng ganitong problema sa mga refilling stations. hinde ba kina calibrate yan mga pumps ng LPG tulad ng mga normal gas nad diesel pumps?

or may glitch din sa LPG system ng sasakyan?

**1997** · July 21st, 2008 09:19 PM

I'll try to refill in Clean fuel this week and check my consumption... Nung sa Total ako nag pa Full tank my consumption is 8.5km/l nugn sa Greenfuel naman 4.5 km/l... ang iniisip ko baka hindi talaga full tank yung sa may Total...

May refilling station ba ang GreenFuel?

Torroidal ba ang tank mo? if torroidal medyo erratic talaga ang gauge dahil very short lang ang play ng float sa loob ng tank and pag half tank na, fuel gets slosh when the vehicle is moving.

Notice ko rin na mas maraming liters of LPG ang nakakarga ko sa CleanFuel E. Rodriguez kaysa sa Total Shaw Blvd???

Which of these 2 pumps are giving us true values?

The most we can do is to stay in one pump (Total) for 2 consecutive weeks and then observe FC and then transfer to another station (CleanFuel) for next 2 weeks and observe the FC. We need to find out which of these pumps are giving us value for our money.

This is similar to the problem I have, but it happens more when I step on the brakes. It happens during idling, and braking. As if meron nasasakal, and biglang babagsak yung rpm ko.

I might bring it to EROOM tomorrow for diagnostics.

Keep us posted on the resolution, I'm having the same problem despite I have change my spark plugs and air filter. I'm bringing also my ride tomorrow for tuning and diagnostics.

Buti na lang M/T itong ride ko na I could jerk the clutch to regain engine runs.

We do not own or affiliated with this refilling station. Please tell us the exact location of "GREENFUEL" refilling station

In my years of using auto-lpg, sometimes the lpg pumps shuts off early for one reason or another (heat, low pressure, too many cars filling up at the same time).

Best to try filling up at the same LPG station everytime if you want a more accurate FC figure. And even then, sometimes the pump can breakdown an cannot fill up your tank to full capacity (resulting in a high fuel mileage figure and a very low one in the next fill up).

Good morning fellow drivers!

Is anybody using or knows anyone who has installed Tartarini's LPG kit in their car? Although my hearsay info tells me this is a bit beyond my planned budget for conversion, I'm tempted to drive down to QC to check out Ambienergy. Besides, have to retrieve my CR from the carlot anyway.

Thanks guys!

Giving the shop a visit is really the best way to check out if shelling out P60K (as compared to P40+K at other shops) is worth your money.

You can get the contact info for other auto-lpg installers in the link below:

ok this is official na. i got 5.8 km/l on my hiway FC. kinda high isnt it?
well i went back to greenfuel to have it retuned. ill post another FC soon.

OT: i have an 40L tank, when i saw the red light on my guage, i still kept driving it hoping to finish it all up until the engine dies down. i drove for another 25kms with it. i only switch back to gas when i was about to drive the expressway. And i was able to filled up 37L of lpg.
