Auto-LPG Conversion Thread

Although I haven't really checked where to buy these locally, you can start with some of the tuner shops.

Here's a few websites where they sell/feature fuel cells:

After looking these over, I think they are over-engineered for my needs. I will look around for those spare gas cans that are designed to bring extra fuel in your trunk. I saw one last christmas at handyman, made in england daw! Maybe I can just adopt those. Medyo mahal yung pang racing!

thanks anyway.

I recall we were manufacturing fuel tanks here locally na.Im wondering if a latero can make one safely.

So if Im only saving P9000/year, it will take me sometime to payback my LPG system... anyway, I really like the LPG system just the same. Our other vehicles would have benefitted better from them.

about the tank yes the local jeep manufacturers make some good tanks, I will check them out later this month....

As I said, its not for everyone, many guys I know converted even if it cost them more than what they could ever recover. Many 4x4 guys convert so their fuel delivery system doesn't fail in extreme terrain angles. Others just want to contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gases, since LPG presents the quickest, cheapest approach to an immediate reduction of effluents. That's the reason governments everywhere want their taxi and bus fleets converted to autogas and CNG.

Me, i love the high octane rating (103 to 105) and its clean even burn at low revs (something even fuel injected gasoline engines finds hard to do). It makes more torque, reduces stress and keeps the engine clean. It is also very good for turbo and supercharged engines (less knock with greater advance) due to its higher octane and better mixture characteristics under extreme pressure - the reason so many bike and rail dragsters are converting.

For these guys economy was their last consideration; performance, low pollution and longevity of the engine were their reasons -- and I guess as long as you enjoy it and it makes sense for your application-- then you should go for it!

cheers,

If you are on the cheap, why not just find a used scooter or motorbike fuel tank? With a few mods (for mounting purposes) it should do the job well.

Sounds like an interesting idea...

sorry pero medyo OT ito - but has anyone tried converting to LPG a gasoline genset?

I've seen a genset running on LPG... it was designed that way.

Interesting.

Dapat pwede same principle naman with a car engine. Sulit kaya? Assuming 20,000 ang conversion, do you use your generator enough to recover your cost? Pero, kung ordinary kitchen lpg tank ang gamit, baka mas mura ang conversion.

Yon yung susunod ko sana - ok ata kung regular lpg tank. Kung viable yon baka masmura pa mag genset kaysa mag meralco - one thing nakikita ko baka magoverheat yung engine
