Auto-LPG Conversion Thread

[ghosthunter]

Good day Ryan,
I am also new to TSIKOT. I am interested in converting my car. How much is the charge for a 1997 Mazda 323 carburetor type?

Kindly send me a text message 0917XXXXXXX.

Parang wala. The places outside of MM that i know is Baguio and Cebu.

just came back from GF dahil ayaw na mag idle yung kotse ko laging namamatay. 2nd time nangyari ito, the first time pinalitan ng reconditioned vaporizer kasi sabi nila may mga metal parts inside the vaporizer which bends overs time, end result no idle control.

based sa info from GF palagi most of the clients who go back with this kind of problems are mostly honda (civic,crv etc) dahil mas mainit daw ang working temp ng honda compared to other cars which i find weird.

now my ride is working again with lpg kaso over period of time mukang ganito na naman ang mangyayari...mukang hinde reliable ang kit na kinabit ng GF sa mga kotse natin ang mahal pa naman ipa repair pag out of warranty na ang kit mo..not good.

tanong ko lang sa mga other tsikot lpg users, na experience niyo na rin bang palitan yung vaporizer niyo dahil sa ganitong problema?

So far the problems with the Greenfuel SGI kits we have are the injectors needing cleaning like the Honda City 1.3L iDSi.

The 2nd gen Honda CRV 2.0L runs well enough after the "sinok" problem was figured out. The 2002 Toyota Camry 2.0L runs smoothly. The 2008 Nissan Sentra 1.3L runs well but had to go back once or twice for injector cleaning.

My 1999 Corolla 1.6L (NAIADSS) venturi with emulator kit is running well. No maintenance done since the new filler was installed.

thanks for the info. bakit kaya ganun yung vaporizer na naka install sa kotse ko? second time na ito nangyari eh hinde ko naman ginagalaw yung adjustmet ng idle screw pagtapos nila i tune up.

kung sinasabi nila na dahil daw sa init kaya nagbebend yung metal parts dapat nakikita ko na rin na abnormal ang temp ng kotse ko eh normal din naman.

The vaporizer's diaphragm is rather fragile if too much adjustment was done by the guy adjusting it. I think their excuse is just to cover their sorry ass.

Over a year na rin ang kit ko from GreenFuel so far no problem, been using my car 80Kms minimum daily and so far no problem encountered. Average 7.5-8.5km/li on LPG on my 2.0 VVTi engine with daily refill of 9-11 liters daily.

Nagkaproblema lang ako during the early install ng kit, na correct lang ang problem ko na erratic idling ng palitan yung coil ko ng tinatawag nilang BFC injectors (big coil) eto daw yung match sa 2.0 engines.

And no more oily LPG contamination ever since I do all my refills at Total North Fairview only.

Nagkaproblema din ako sa fuel gauge at pinalitan din nila.

For me, no problems whatsoever with the Greenfuel SGI kit installed on my 2002 Camry 2.2L A/T. I used to manually switch to LPG after a couple of minutes everytime I start the engine and manually switch back to gasoline before shutting the engine off. This was the crude workaround I was using to prevent that mysterious and intermitent engine stalls at times when auto-switching from petrol to LPG.

Went to Greenfuel >2 months ago to have it checked and if I'm not mistaken, they just made some adjustments with the vaporizer screw. Since then, my LPG has been flawless...(touch-wood)

Cheers!

To those who don't use synth oils for their LPG rides, i was at ACE Hardware yesterday and i saw they have mineral Mobil Oil (15W-40) labeled for use with LPG engines.
