    I assume the factory warranty is maintained even with the LPG kit?

    Nissan in C5/Meralco Avenue is already offering italian lpg system (tartarini brand). According to them, converting an X-trail (with donut tank) will cost 60K plus. Regarding consumption, they said that it will remain the same as gasoline, about 8km/l.

    Nissan Contact Number- +639229783599

    I'd be a bit weary about anything offered by Nissan Gallery, they're one of the first Nissan dealers to openly promote Khaos hehe... They probably know nothing about the system.

    Mura na yan. I was given a quote by another distributor of tartarini, 80K for my Venture. Torpedo tank pa yun. Kung torodial tank aka donut, plus 5k pa daw. Can't remember kung VAT inclusive na ba.

    Expect consumption to go up by around 15%

    Alam nila yung Khaos, the more people install khaos the more business nila for repairs

    good point userfriendly hehe, di ko naisip yun ah...

    Tama lang yung 60K IMO kung yung may ECU real-time adjustment ng timing... But I think 50K lang yan tapos 10K patong sa kasa hehe.

    i had a chat with a taxi driver(corolla XL lovelife ung dala) on my way to
    megamall last week....he had some interesting comments about LPG.

    ...but before we go into that, i just want to make it clear na hindi ko sigurado kung totoo ung pinagsasabi niya; i posted the comments here in hopes that someone would verify/refute what he told me


    Here goes:


    -- dati rati, he would use up less than 50 liters of fuel a day, usually mga 42 liters daw. with the lpg kit installed, umaabot ng 50-60 liters per day(imho, there could be a lot of factors. maybe medyo malayo ung biyahe na on that particular day, or matrapik, etc. pwede rin that maybe psychologically he thinks mas mahina hatak ng LPG, so mas madiin tumapak sa gas. dunno)


    -- mas mahina daw hatak when going uphill. dati rati daw, with 3-4 people onboard, with aircon on, no problems daw. ngayong naka LPG, di na daw kinayanan even without aircon


    -- kelangan daw ng "special" sparkplugs pag LPG kit. ung 'ordinary' denso sparkplugs, mga isang linggo lang daw tinatagal; nasisira daw dahil mas mainit daw pag LPG. ung kelangan daw gamitin is some sort of sparkplug that has four prongs/produces four sparks


    -- most alarming of all...kelangan daw mag mini top overhaul every so often. me namumuo daw na layer of soot on the cylinder heads, which needs to be cleaned out regularly(parang months ata ang pagitan?)


    -- finally, and strangest of all, mas madali daw nanunuyo ung lalamunan niya when he started driving an LPG converted unit. i'm not really sure what to think


    don't shoot the messenger peeps, just trying to get opinions from the people who spend the most time driving LPG cars. Sana'y meron pong magclarify nitong mga issues ;)
