May 3rd, 2008 04:13 AM #1I read the thread about LPG on cars on this forum. I left a message there but no one answered. I think the thread is dead so am posting my questions here since am to be a honda owner.
1. Is it possible to convert ahonda 95 to use LPG?
2. Does anyone know the CURRENT price for conversion?
3. Where can we find an excellent conversion site?
4. I read in the thread that converting really does help, any comments?
5. Is converting to LPG really expand the life of the engine? Wikipedia suggest otherwise.
6. Are all the same (universal) converters? If not, please share knowledge.
7. Do we need additional paperwork for LTO when we convert?
5. Is anyone from Pampanga? I would like to ask if there are LPG stations in Pampanga.
Any comments/ suggestion/ ridicule/ critic would be highly appreciated.

yes, GREENFUEL just converted a family friend's '96 Civic VTi to LPG this past week. Any auto-LPG should be able to do the job.
2. Does anyone know the CURRENT price for conversion?
"standard" cylindrical 40L tank. Options would be 50L, 60L tanks and donuts type tanks with capacity of 40, 50 and 60 liters.
3. Where can we find an excellent conversion site?
Personally I would recommend GREENFUEL (call Mike * 0922-823-1270) and tell him you read the LPG thread from TSIKOT.COM
4. I read in the thread that converting really does help, any comments?
5. Is converting to LPG really expand the life of the engine? Wikipedia suggest otherwise.
I think this problem is only related to cars not designed to use unleaded gasoline.
6. Are all the same (universal) converters? If not, please share knowledge.
7. Do we need additional paperwork for LTO when we convert?
5. Is anyone from Pampanga? I would like to ask if there are LPG stations in Pampanga.

^ Depends.... If the installer drilled some holes on the body or underbody (which they will likely do) then yes, the buyer can find out (although it may not be immediately, if you choose not to point it out clearly to them during intial inspection).

Petrol (or gasoline) already has an existing distribution and retail infrastructure. It has taken decades for it to reach to it's current level. Auto-LPG has been in the local market for less than five years. Distribution is still limited to the metro areas (like Metro Manila and Metro Cebu).
Typical drawback of LPG converted cars is the smaller trunk space or the displaced spare tire (depending on the type of tank you get).
In other countries, auto companies are selling CNG or LPG enabled brand new vehicles complete with factory warranties. It would only require us to have enough people willing to buy cars factory fitted with LPG systems to get car companies to have them made that way. Unfortunately people like pinoys are often too conservative and suspicious of technology foreign to them (even if it's already proven it worth in other countries).
