Auto-LPG Conversion Thread

Where did you have your fuel lines cleaned? Did they flush out the gas lines with a solvent? My car runs great on lpg but can't seem to keep the engine running when on gas. I already replace the fuel pump, fuel filter and distributor, cleaned the intake manifold, changed the spark plugs but the problem still persists. Parang nalulunod pag gas gamit ko hanggang mamamatay nalang yung makina. I was thinking baka yung fuel lines nagbara na din.

How old is your gasoline? And what gasoline do you have in your tank? (Shell Unleaded? Caltex Silver?, etc)

My gas normally lasts for about 1-2 months between refills of P500. I usually put Shell Premium. I'm really having a hard time with my engine. A mechanic told me recently that this is because of the LPG that destroys the pistons. I'm not sure if he's just discouraging me with my kit or if he's really telling the truth.

In a way he is correct but only IF your LPG kit was set improperly. Taxi drivers somethings adjust the LPG settings to be too-lean, resulting in long term damage to the engine.

As long as your air-fuel ratio in LPG and gasoline are within the correct range, your engine will do fine.

BTW, I use either TOTAL PROTEC or PETRON BLAZE in my gas tank. Lasts more than four-five months and still runs smooth.
