Auto-LPG Conversion Thread

[paolorenzo]

There is one crazy CRV owner (model 2008) who had his CRV converted. He tells me he reaches 200km/h highway driving?? Crazy!

Yup, 200km/h should be ok, specially at NLEX or SCTEX. What's crazier for me is he had his brand spanking new CRV converted to LPG already. Goodbye engine warranty.

Depends on what is crazier.

Saving P50K to P100K annually for the life of the vehicle or saving money by keeping the new vehicle parked in the garage five days out of every week and just commute to your destination.

Hi abetg, Yes that is correct most likely your filler unit is bayonet type (Korean). When i say Adapter - it is the one attached to the nozzle of the hose to connect to your filler unit. it uses an Italian filler machine shopped to fit korean filler units. We do offer changing your filler units to Italian type if needed. Hope this helps!

sir how much do you charge (labor and materials) for conversion of filler unit from bayonet type to italian type (is this the same as the 'euro' type?) and how long would it take doing such conversion? TIA

anybody here in this thread carrying a tire-fix-in-a-can instead of the usual spare tire? (spare tire is quite heavy and so is the toroidal tank.) is it effective? how long before it expires? what's the cost and where to get one? even a well maintained tire (together with good driving habits) would experience being flat at least once in their lifetime, so i suppose.

I bought a space saver spare tire to replace my full sized spare. It still weighs a bit but the difference in size meant I could stuff the tools and other stuff around the tire.

I did have a tire-fix-can many years ago. It did work by plugging a puncture and inflating my tire enough to get rolling. It was around a year and a half old by the time I used it. Note: avoid "testing" the can because it might get clogged or the gas pressure leaked out.

thanks gh. any shop you can recommend (paranaque/qc area) where i can get this space saver spare tire? how does it look like? i have heard of this bicycle type spare tire. you familiar with this type? and having no spare tire in your vehicle aren't we violating any law here?

[eikichi]

anybody knows where i can get the plastic cover for the filler? i checked the cover last night and it seemed that the tip of the thread is loose thread already. now i can't close the filler well. or are there any other covers available in the market aside from the plastic?

[abetg]

to all auto-gas users with 'bayonet' type filler units (or at least eroom filler units): tried to fill up this morning at my usual lpg station and was told that they no longer have the adapter for such filler unit (they call this NAIADSS) as this was already 'outlawed' as per DOE order and it goes daw with other lpg stations as well. what they only have now is the italian type. (this was also taken up here by xoomaster, who likewise offers conversion.) another pain in the pocket eh?

The one I got looks somewhat like the one below except it's painted in a shade of dull yellow.



I bought it from the auto-shops along Evangelista for P1,300. You can try your luck there or along Araneta/Bawawe area. Make sure the holes would fit your car.

Good thing I had my filler valve converted from the "bayonet"/NAIADSS to the Euro/Italian style filler two months ago at GREENFUEL.

At least the conversion of the filler isn't that expensive. Just a pain in the ass to remove a perfectly good valve.

Is there a reason why the bayonet is banned?

i think that the change in filler from bayonet (korean)type to italian should be free, DOE should order all the authorized autolpg installer with korean filler type to issue a recall without charging their client!!!

dapat kunin nila korean filler at palitan nila ng italian na walang bayad...
(aanhin ko pa iyun korean filler?)

tulad din sa kotse natin, pag may problema iyun specific parts at kailangan ng recall, obilgado iyun car dealership palitan iyun parts sira man o hindi...

ACE hardware ako nakakakita nun.

korek ka dyan sir. hope it works that way. kaso dun sa installer ko they'll still charge 1.3k for the conversion. di naman daw nila kasalanan yun. they were caught flat-footed daw by the DOE circular. sayang din 1.3k. two weeks din na lpg refill yun para sakin.

they said the italian type was the one favored daw by the big 3 and ease of use na din i think.

ah ok. i'll look for one in those areas. try ko din swap baka pumayag. thanks.

I'm sure someone from DOE got paid. This is nonsense.

Problem ko is that if I have my filler converted, the Italian pump nozzle may not fit, and reach the valve.

ganito din naging problema ko, maikli yung thread kaya hinde masyadong pumapasok at worst nag loose thread na. nanghingi lang ako sa mga attendant ng clean fuel, mas maganda pa yung nakuha ko mahaba yung plastic na may thread. try niyo manghingi
