Auto-LPG Conversion Thread

the one along Pioneer is the NAIDSS lpg conversion/service station. They have LPG kits for both carb & efi.

Just note that NAIDSS & Petron systems are basically the same except for the filler nozzle. That's probably so you would be a "loyal" customer to whoever you bought your kit from.

This is cool... I wasn't aware of the local availability of EFI kits.

I think that point has been mentioned in the original thread.

I've got one guinea pig ripe for modifying. :D

Just to remind you, the LPG tank is mounted above your rear axel. Your car's CG will be affected. And the kit's price is more than P35,000 (before the hybrid fuel tax cute ruling)... do you use that much gasoline to let the kit payback for itself (in terms of savings) under 1.5 years?

*ghosthunter: Not really... we're not using it at all, at the moment, but I find it an interesting prospect.

When we were using the car, we put over 50k km on it in a year. Abuso talaga sa engine ang business trips...

do you have any local dealers who can give us a price quote on your system?

any tsikoteer who've tried this?

btw, does anyone have an idea on how much weight the additional equipment adds a vehicle?

**ghosthunter** · April 5th, 2006 05:22 PM

I think the system adds around 30kg to 80kg (full LPG tank).

Curiously I saw the taxi cabs in Melbourne, Australia to be running on LPG... similar system being sold in Metro Manila.

That is correct. Almost all of the taxis here in Australia are dual fuel (LPG+petrol) as taxis here are full-size sedans or station wagons with 6cyl engines. I have yet to see one that is not dual fuel.

Our kapitbahay has a dual-fuel current model Corolla with 1.8l VVT-I engine. If you want I can ask him questions/take pictures.

I passed by Petron Marcos Hi-way and I think they have this project to convert cars to be LPG-fed (actually bi fuel kasi iretain ata orig na set-up)... Extend Autogas ata... basta orange-colored yung coding nya... Anyone tried it?

they only convert cars with carb engines.
i've talked to a petron representative two weekends ago at the fort where they had a booth display. its korean technology daw and it will costs you more than P26,000 for the convertion. according to them, their customers are mostly taxi operators. you can still use unleaded fuel when you ran out of LPG. LPG fuel costs P21/liter daw and there are currently 5 petron LPG refilling stations daw in the metro.
