alam mo kahit hindi kinabitan ng autogas ang optra eh mababa na rin ang resale value, mga 2-3 months ago binebenta ko na iyun kotse ko sa halagang php. 450,000.00, may 21thousand kilometers city driving lang natakbo, parang bago (amoy bago pa rin), nakakabit pa ang plastic sa instrumentation pannel, clock, radio, automatic trans indicator, at visors, walang ka gasgas gasgas ang body as in parang kalalabas lang galing sa delearship dahil sobrang bihira ko lang gamitin as in natutulog lang sa garage ko, at may 1 year pa na warranty... iyun isang friend ko nag refer na may bibili at gusto makita iyun kotse ko, bait bait na dinala ko iyun kotse sa bahay nila na pagkalayo layo at matapos niya kilatisin biruin mo tinawaran ng php. 300,000.00!!! grabe kapal ng mukha, as in feeling niya porke, kesyo ganito gayan daw ang optra... S#%&t namp#$%& sa sobrang inis ko hindi ko na sila kinausap/pinansin at nilayasan ko nalang sila...

sorry folks halata na carry over ang inis ko dito...

no regrets for installing autogas in my car... for keeps na optra ko...

palitan mo ng Toyota emblem yang optra mo tataas ang resale value nyan hehehehehe.

ok din yung dual tank setup yun nga lang yung spare tire mo ang mago-occupy ng space sa trunk.

bakit toyota pa... eh emblem nalang ng cadilac cts tulad nun gamit sa movie matrix reloaded, imagine niyo... iyun pwet... hindi si trinity, iyun kotse... (hehehe, LOL.. kidding lang) diba magkahawig sila. hmmm... pati kaha hawig din... hmmm pa mod kaya sa A-toys... pwede!!!

yeah okay iyun dual tank setup, hindi na kailangan ng spare tire, dahil may bagong klaseng tire iyun kahit flat pwede pa patakbuhin na hindi masisira...

Basically all the kits are the same. They just differ in the size of the LPG tank and the rating of the LPG heater.

1.6L and below carb (P24K)
1.6L and below efi (P28k)
1.8L to 3.0L
above 3.0L

LPG tank sizes are 36L, 48L and 60L. They are roughly cylinderical with a height of 10.5 inches or 12 inches and roughly 31 inches in length.

You can mix and match which tank you want with your LPG kit, the price will not change. Example: the 36L tank to be fitted to a Honda CRV 2.0L or a 60L tank to be fitted in a Corolla XL 1.3L.

So to answer your question, yes, there is a kit for your Nissan Vanette. You will just have to decide if you can live with less space in the back where the LPG tank will be going.
