Auto-LPG Conversion Thread

Help"

1. Since I used LPG, I left my gasoline tank dry

2. One day, i loaded petrol but then it would not start. (the engine would start but no gasoline went to engine)

3. What should I do???? somebody said the Fuel pump needs replacement.

Any ideas?

Nakakasisira daw talaga ng fuel system pag ganyan. One thing I like about the Greenfuel LPG-SGI system is that it automatically switches to gasoline every 20 minutes or so for about 5 seconds to help keep the fuel system running. Tsaka, I'm not sure about your LPG kit, but mine uses gasoline to start the engine and auto-switch lang ako sa LPG at 2500 rpm. Kaya di rin puedeng walang gasolina talaga yung fuel tank ko...

next time when i have the chance to visit them para ipa tune ulit, i will see to it na i vivideo ko na yung actual adjustments para next time ako na ang mag ttry. hirap kasi lalo na taga south pa ako.

last time kasi i feedback na mababa ng konti ang mileage and my plug shows ok naman so they adjust (term nila sakalin) para mas lean ng konti. nag improve naman ang FC pero hinde consistent coz i dont drive the same route everyday.

goodluck to ian.

Stuck up fuel pump, if you know a mechanic who can do small mechanism repair you can bring it to him. I guess Raymond Sarol of MyMitsu can fix that, I saw him one time fixing a lancer servo. His shop was in San Juan - cell no. 0920-9252290.

I lost the plastic cap of my filler nozzle, installed under my rear bumper. It was after I gassed up at one of the filling stations along Mindanao Avenue in QC. I'm not making any accusations but I just found it suspicious that the filling station was selling brass filler caps. ;-)
Any suggestions where I can get a replacement-- preferably plastic? Lorna of Greenfuel said that they don't have spares.

Sadly Ian left for Australia to seek "greener" pastures BTW, he is the first Filipino auto-lpg installer among many applicants that has passed the stringent testing requirements of the Australian firm

We will continue to train potential installers to be able to improve our pool of technicians and to provide better service to our customers.

BTW, one of the reason for the current shortage of lpg is that stocks for the Philippine market were diverted to winter affected countries in Europe when Russian shut down the natural gas pipeline in the Ukraine

Hopefully things would stabilize in the coming weeks

Bad trip nga, wala palaging LPG sa Xoom at Total North Fairview, dumadayo pa ako sa Clean Fuel Shaw Blvd.

yung sa akin, maikli yung thread kaya madaling natatangal, so when i went back to greenfuel pinapalitan ko ng ibang plastic cap with longer thread. so far everything i refill i double check para sure na nakakabit. di ko rin alam kung saan nakakabili na spare.

Hopefully things would stabilize in the coming weeks

is there any open lpg refilling sa side niyo? wala pa rin kasi dito sa alabang area. and last question, do you have any update re your plan to open a branch sa south area? thanks.

cleanfuel at shaw has supply of lpg as of today.

[Mile2]

Almost all CleanFuel station have LPG, wondering why other players don't have?

Not only do they have supply of LPG... they are cheaper than many of the other retailers too.

Current price P17.95/L

Just came from a day of diagnostics at Greenfuel yesterday. Medyo sumakit na ulo ni Tolits on how to make my Adventure works well again. Nagbaback fire kapag nag aaccelerate ako when using LPG. One of the possible cause he mentioned might be the hi-tension wire. Per tolits also, mine will be the 1st case of SGI na nakaka encounter ng ganitong problema. He used the tester in the diagnosis and found out that the 2nd wire shows "no reading". Will this be the main culprit? Just had my change oil, spark plugs and air filter last December. Tolits also replaced the injectors and railings.

For the meantime, petrol muna ginagamit ko since hindi talaga maganda response while using LPG. Please share your inputs. Thanks

In my experience with high tension wires, they tend to fail after a year or so after installation. They either "leak" (failed insulation) or conductor breaks at the sockets by mechanical failure or corrosion.

Stock wires are still better unless you have fully upgraded your engine's ignition system.

Mukhang malaki ang depot ng CleanFuel, saw Monday night at CleanFuel Shaw a private LPG tanker unloading its haul there.

Kung di lang ako nadala sa CleanFuel E. Rodriguez dahil sa oily lpg contamination baka kahit sa E. Rodriguez na lang ako nagpapa-refill, kaso kailangan ko pang dumayo sa Shaw Blvd para makaiwas sa oily lpg contamination.

i began to notice the problem on my 5th month after installation.

does it mean, im on my way on replacing my tension wires na?

What is the color of your spark plugs tip? If your spark plugs have these black deposit, you probably have oily lpg contamination on your tank. The only solution would be bleeding all your lpg out of your tank and change filling station.

Hi Mile2. Sorry for the inconvenience brought about by this shortage. Naguunahan lahat ng mga players for LPG since right now demand is high but supply is limited. For the Auto LPG industry I'm happy to hear that other stations have supply as this will keep the industry in good shape and still encourage other users during this crisis. Xoom is working with Petronas on improving the supply chain to minimize delays or 0 outs. Thank you for your continued support.
