Auto-LPG Conversion Thread

[larshell]

* jojo hernandez, Wow! 7 years. Pero question ko is gaano kahaba na ba tinakbo ng Samurai with LPG in terms of KM? Kung Expedition V8 will you still use LPG?
Sulit parin ba talaga? Kahit masbilis mapundi yun plugs at Mabilis dumumi yun Injector's and some also claims na pati daw valve affected din.
Main reason kaya interesado ako is nakikita ko na fuel prices are going up until December this year. Sayang din kung makakatipid ako pero kung mas magastos ang maintenance parang talo din. Just a thought. Thanks!

* larshell my sammy has gone more than 160k with 2 timing belt belts replacements, still runs like a dream, thats on lpg since i condemned my fuel pump and gasoline tank about 5 yrs ago.
There are expi's and trailblazers here in davao on 100% lpg and i haven't heard any complains from owners. I'm also into converting my two efi vehicles, however im still looking for a reliable sgi installer here. All i can say is that for carbed engines go lpg hindi masyado maselan sa oily lpg just spray the carb an air intake with a good carb cleaner and forget it. It will keep on running just do regular oil change every 4 to 6 mos or so with motor oil suitable for lpg fueled engines and you'll be ok.

larshell sir, i dont believe the claim of others na mas mabilis mapundi ang spark plugs i'm using bosch platinum gapped at 0.7mm for seven years years now havent change it since then palinis kuno every 6 mos or so pero malinis pa and no mis firing pa, just to see if hindi ma stuck up yung thread ng plugs sa cyl head hehehe. As with the valves fairly new vehicles 1995 up have hardened valves and seats specially the exhaust valves so dont believe that bs on valves on lpg. Performance wise, cant notice any difference on torque still fording rivers and creeks and doing off road once in a while laughing at pajeros and toyota pickups, no match for my shinny lil mule hehehhe.

* larshell : 32KKm na ako sa lpg on my EK honda. yung problem sa injectors ko nandun na even before i converted to lpg, total cost was 2400 * servitek. hinde ko din na experience yung napundihan ng plugs. bawing bawi na ako sa lpg coz i ran average 300 km per week. marami na rin akong nakitang big suvs na nagconvert sa lpg.

n5110, EK Honda pala kotse mo. Malamang imported yan and used na sa Japan. Kaya siguro may problem na sa injectors. Thanks sa info :D
