Auto-LPG Conversion Thread

GH,
Plugs are clean. And like I mentioned, the stalling only happens under the same peculiar circumstances, which don't seem to suggest any problem with the engine.

quan2boy,
Will definitely try your suggestion.

Thanks!

It happens to me before, the culprit is oily LPG contamination.

Try to bleed or consume your remaining fuel and look for a cleaner LPG filling station preferably newly built filling station or a station that maintains their facility.

I'm reaching now 1 year on LPG and so far I'm satisfied with my GreenFuel LPG kit and the LPG station I frequent.

The first time it happened, I immediately brought the car to Greenfuel. They did the bleeding, and told me just what you said about choosing filling stations. Since then, I've never gone to any station other than Total in Alabang or the one in Makati.
I thought the problem was solved until I did another long drive and the same thing happened, as I described in my first post.
Don't get me wrong... my LPG kit is also a year old now, and I never regretted getting it. Except for this problem which came about only over the last few months, the kit is practically trouble-free during my normal daily drives.

When they did the LPG bleeding on a clean cloth, have you seen the oily residue?

Oily LPG contamination can really be problematic to SGI kit system, where injectors are getting clog.

Scout again for other LPG filling station that does PMS on their tanks. Total North Fairview is now the only LPG filling station I frequent, they do regular PMS on their tanks.

Ironically, venturi-type LPG kits are not affected by oily LPG due to its crude design.

Just like old-school smoker diesels can survive with really low-quality diesel.

I went to Greenfuel today to have my kit checked as the warranty is just about to lapse (one year). All seems a-okay.

try to use 1 step colder plugs, ito ang kinabit ko last march and until now gamit ko pa rin, 1 time lang ako naglinis ng plugs ko. very good ang experience ko sa lpg ngayon after greenfuel replaced the broken vaporizer. mag eexpire na rin ang warranty ko next month kaya papa check ko din system ko.

pataas na naman ang gas ha.. lapit nako matg ROI

Question lang to our resident conversion shops... Has anyone tried converting a big body corolla (1.6 GLi A/T) to LPG only? So LPG tank will be placed where the gas tank is usually located? I know it is recommended to retain your gas system, but I'm toying with the idea of having a purely city car. As it is, mga 98% of my use is LPG na. I'm thinking of getting a big body corolla as a daily drive, na LPG only. Venturi kit yata ang big body.

Appreciate your input. You can also PM me your quotation for the LPG only conversion.
