Auto-LPG Conversion Thread

**ghosthunter** · October 20th, 2005 02:55 PM

With the pending gasoline prices threating to hit P40 before the year's end, LPG fuel conversion seems to be a good alternative, even for the private car owner.

Does anyone know some reputable dealers of LPG conversion kits around metro manila? How much would a typical kit cost? Installation time? How much space will be occupied by the LPG tank in the trunk? What is the typical maintaince issues after the kit is installed? Etc.

Company name, telephone number and address would be appreciated.

good idea nga ang LPG conversion. when i was in bangkok yung ibang mga taxi lpg na ang gamit dun sa trunk nakalagay. kya yung baggage ko di magkasya. sa rear passenger seat ko na lang nilalagay. :D

Meron sa GT (grupo toyota) na thread dun about a company looking for a car that's willing to participate sa conversion, free sya, the only thing they ask is the car being displayed sa car show/trade show next month ata or something.

aba meron na palang Autogas ang shell. so kung saka-sakali pwedeng magpa-refill in any shell station?

according to shell's FAQ, the gas consumption will be 10% to 15% higher due to the lower energy content of LPG. also according to shell, it's 25% cheaper (if gasoline reaches 40 pesos per liter, autogas should be 30 per liter).

since i'm consuming around 80L/month of gasoline (3200 * 40/L), that would be ~90L of autogas (2700), a savings of 500 pesos a month. i don't know how much the conversion costs but shell claims, 18000 pesos. So it would take roughly 3 years to recover the cost.

at least, cleaner-burning, less engine wear, etc.
