The claimed 10km/L is possible IF you are driving on the expressway or roads without traffic.

I converted my VX200 automatic to LPG last July, went with the old NAIDDS venturi type conversion and so far i am consuming 5 liter/km with LPG city driving. So far encountered no problem with the LPG.

Placed my tank at the back removing 1 of the foldable seats. My wife only complains of the unusual "bottle sound" the tank makes when driving to uneven road surface.

You can hide the tank inside a custom made enclosure that can double as another bench seat at the back. That is how some AUV owners have done it.

As for the "bottle sound" check if the tank hits any part of the AUV's body. Have it adjusted so there would be no impact.

I had a similar problem when NAIADSS first installed my system. I had them move the tank 1/4 inch away from the trunk wall and the sound disappeared.

On a sidenote, Ferman mentioned on a used car review of the Revo on TGP before that one reason why the Revo has a relatively poor FC is because of an inherently overrich a/f mix and mentioned that tuning with the Unichip improved the FC.

*GH Oh I see at least there's some truth to what
the seller said.
*ryanboy, what was the FC of your Revo(city driving)
prior to conversion? How much it cost you for the
conversion?
I inquired at greenfuel for the (SGI) lpg kit (thru email) and
they quoted a price of 39k for the Revo...whew...
thou i can afford the price my concern is how long
will the kit or system work assuming proper maintenance
is done?

My system is over two years old. Its from NAIADSS though.

So far the only periodic maintenance needed was periodic draining of the vaporizer of the water that collects inside.

Whats a/f and unichip? noob here

Whats a/f and unichip? noob here

a/f = air fuel ratio

unichip = a gadget sold by SPEEDLAB which helps tune an engine's performance.

Before conversion i consume on the average 6km/l on unleaded. At NAIDS i went for the efi emulator venturi type, cost me 24,500 pesos end of July this year. I never had the time to go back for check up at Naidds, but will try pass there by Dec for maintenance check.

Before i decided to convert i was already reading this thread on problems encountered by cars on sgi, so this made it easier for me to go for the cheaper conversion. I was also monitoring GH with his Corolla done at NAIDS and so far LPG is ok.

I think you mean 5km/liter.

This should translate to about double (10kpl) if using unleaded/premium, because the price is about double the price of LPG. Hmm... what was your Fuel Efficiency before converting to LPG, sir?
