1. I travel to the Pangasinan back and forth always, I sometimes leave the car there for my mom to use, my issue is that there are absolutely no LPG refilling stations anywhere in the Province, will I still be able to use the car? Will I still be able to fill it up with Unleaded gasoline?

2. How hard is it to maintain the kit? Is there any particular issue that I should be worried about if I lets say had one installed?

3. What's the leading brand out in the market? Who's the best person to run to for repairs? Usually around how much does a kit cost (ordinary/expensive)?

I'm sorry di ko na binack read yung last few pages, limited lang kasi time ko sa net. Thanks.

1. A car converted to Auto-LPG can still use gasoline like any normal car. BUT you have to balance the fact that you will be using LPG more often. If E10-gasoline is left in the fuel tank for longer than FOUR weeks, it will start to become "stale" and results in a rough running engine with dramatically less engine power.

If you were to have non-E10 gasoline in your fuel tank, it will still be good to use over FOUR months later.

2. The only issues with LPG kits is you might have to use a "colder" sparkplug than what you use for gasoline, although I have been using my regular sparkplug without issues. So it's generally a case-to-case if you encounter slight irregular engine operation.

You'll also might need to drain the accumulated water in the LPG vaporizer every 10,000 km. But it's something that can be done in a few minutes at your LPG station.

3. I could suggest XOOM Auto-LPG. They have been quite good in diagnosing issues with Auto-LPG conversions. Auto-LPG kits vary in price depending on install type and tank preferred. Best to call them.
