from what I got, they charge 28K for kits upto 1.8L efi engines. 2.0L engines are more expensive.

yes, 28,000.00 pesos lang... my engine displacement is 1.6L EFI

maybe your car have a bigger engine displacement...

Naiadss sa Pioneer
Petron C5 and Makati
Cat gas sa Visayas Ave
Petron Mindanao Ave

plus...
Petron Makati Avenue
Petron Marcos Highway
Petron Fairview
Petron Shaw
Petron NAIA Rd., Pasay

Petron also does conversions.

to be honest sir, i don't know i just ask a list of gasoline station that has autolpg from naiadss... hirap kasi tulad before 1 week wala ako makargahan dahil sa petron libis sira ang adapter and na nenok naman ng isang taxi ang adapter sa petron marcos highway, tapos napadaan ako sa makati ave, hindi ko alam na mayroon pala doon...

[chuaed]

Petron also does conversions.

hindi sa nag pro-promote ko naiadss, its just that bago ako nagpakabit ng autogas sa naiadss nag inquire ako sa petron dahil for me petron is a big company and sigurado na quality ang maikakabit nila sa akin... nag inquire ako sa petron libis dahil may display sila doon ng autogas appliance/tank ironically hindi na daw sila nag install, at sa naiadss sa pioneer daw ako magpakabit... coincidence naman pakatapos ko lang makausap ang incharge doon sa petron libis, nakita ko nag kakarga ng lpg gas iyun kotse ng naiadss kaya nilapitan ko sila at humingi ako ng mga brochures phamplets price quotation etc... very accomodating sila, after careful study and research sa internet, na decide ko sa kanila na magpakabit...

very recently nagpa-tuning ako sa kanila dahil feeling ko matakaw para sa akin iyun lpg consumption sa car ko... napansin ko lang or maybe its just me, hirap kausapin mga koreano (interms of communicating with them because they doesn't speak much english), nontheless i prefer na sila gumalaw sa car ko dahil mas familiar sila doon at since korean din iyun optra (nubira,lacetti) eh more or less alam na nila pasikot-sikot... iyun lang eh parang ordinary talyer lang ang dating sa tingin ko dahil expect ko na mayroon sila somesort of electronic/computer diagnostic gizmo eck eck na ikakabit sa car ko para ma-determin nila ang proper adjustment/tuning... kahit props man lang sana para makapag impress ng customer... hehehe... but seriously aside from fuel economy makapag attain sa proper tuning, kapag improper naman nakakasira ng makina kapag very rich or very lean ang air/fuel mixture diba??? sad to say eh ang ginagawa nila "pakiramdaman lang ang dating" they will adjust the vaporizer and mixer by using their feelings, sounds of the engine, vibration, whatever...

kaya nga naghahanap ako kung saan may makabili at makapag install ng air/fuel mixture gauge iyun analogue lang... folks let me know kung sino may alam at magkano... (iyun dito lang po sa manila)<--- demanding... hehehe

you can try contacting Auto_Xer. He could probably get you one. (Or use his for some tuning works).

peeps, just trying to start a list of sorts ng mga brands/models ng cars na napaconvert na to LPG. If you happen to own one that't not already listed, paki fill in naman. thanks!


so far ang alam ko lang is

1. Toyota Corolla 1.3L XL 1997-2000 -- "lovelife" body, specifically taxis

No noticeable difference in hatak; parang normal 1.3L car.

[zero]

1. Toyota Corolla 1.3L XL 1997-2000 -- "lovelife" body, specifically taxis
2. Mitsubishi Lancer 1.3 EL 2000 -- "pizza pie model"



last april, i saw a lancer 1.3 EL model 2000 being used by petron at their exhibit at the fort. according to the petron representative i've talked to, the LPG convertion for cars are for carb engines only. it's korean technology daw ito and the convertion cost is P27,000.00. you can still use unleaded gasoline daw again in case na you ran out of LPG fuel. may switch silang install para magamit mo ulet ang gasoline as your fuel.
P22./liter ang LPG today, ang laki ng difference sa gasoline.

takot lang si misis ko ipa-convert ang tsikot namin, baka daw sumabog. hehehe....

So you mean lalong lumakas pa sa gas consumption ang kotse mo? im planning to go there na papakabit na ako and do they install on saturdays??

[userfriendly]

May nakita akong Tamaraw FX nag-kakarga ng lpg di ko lang nakausap yung driver kung kamusta ito.

[topgun]

honda civic esi 1995

[H1Tman]

how's the consumption naman kaya?

[surewin]

yung supplier namin, honda civic 97 Vti. 30k daw paconvert.
according to him same lang ang consumption at hatak.
me advantage ka lang kasi mura lang LPG.
tank cylinder is "bangga proof".wag lang mag leak yung fuel/lpg line dahil sabog kotse mu.

[ale828]

i think its the car and its engine na talaga ang problem. The Optra is a gas guzzler talaga, changing to LPG doesn't change the fact that the engine dynamics are not in sync with the car. The car being a gas guzzler from the start doesn't pertain that you will get better mileage if you switch to LPG because your using the same engine. It will only mean that you are spending less money on the gas as compared to before but that wont change the fact that the Optra is still a gas guzzler.
