CNG/LPG Kit in car

 

both r cars which r gonna b phased off soon.....

n abt LPG kit....

Accent wud b a better option.....

Ikon is a problem wid CNG retrofitments....not sure abt LPg....

 

bt yes Accent is a success wid retrofitments..b it LPG or CNG....

 

cheers..

 

hang on ...150 per day !!!.......buddy u'll hav to go for d 14 kg kit....

10 kg doesnt mean it contains 10 kg of CNG in it...... its lesser..... n u'll hardly reach ur destination wid one full cylinder.......n wil hav to use petrol every day !!....

i wud suggest u to go for d bigger cylinder .... even though i kno it voids ur warranty......bt wid a car covering 150 km per day ...savings shud b maximized by using ptrol only while starting ...n not as an alternate fuel cuz ur CNG wud finish in ur 10 kg cylinder well b4 d 14 kg Cylinder !

hi, i am rather new to all this but i am trying to convince my father to get our hyundai getz converted to CNG, but one thing that keeps bothering me is whether its safe to do so as many of my friends have warned me of the danger of cars blowing up in case of a accident and other safety issues, can someone advise me on this point?moreover, is it safe to convert a getz into CNG?

@ shukla,

plz tell us ur usage type like wat is ur daily/monthlu running, so according to that we can suggest u that will cng/lpg kit getting installed in ur car will prove to be a profitable deal for u or not.

Hi ,

Is the LPG filling available in normal petrol pumps?And how much damage the LPG kit does to the engines?

regards

 

 

no it is not necessary that lpg may available at all petrol pumps, somewhere there are only lpg filling stations & somewhere there are petrol stations where lpg is also available so it all depends.

 

lpg will reduce the engine performance by around 15% & it will give u less mileage than the petrol by say 1-2 points but overall u wiull save on fuel bills.

 

do tell us ur running so taht we can suggest u that will fitting a lpg kit in ur car prove to be good for u or no.

Mr.Deepam.

Thanks fo your reply.Actually my running is around 500-600 km per month.In near future  i am expecting a change of job whichwill require travelling  around 1300 km per month.Now i have one ford ikon which is giving me milege around 11km per ltr petrol.I am thinking if i am taking up that job,shall i fit some cng/lpg kit or buy new diesel car say,between vista aura,swift diesel,getz prime diesel.Please guide me.If required i can open new thread.

Regards

 

 

Mr.Deepam,

Also i heard that CN/LPG kits in fact damge the engine.So if only the power ges reduced by 20%,Still it is acceptable,but if it will damage the engine then we should think very carefully whether to go for these kits

@ priyadarshi,

as per ur running at present there is no need of cng/lpg as it will be of no use as ur running is very limited & the initial amount wat u will be paying for lpg/cng kit, that u will not be able to retain it.

 

so as per now u use ur car on petrol & when ur job gets changed & ur running increases trade of ur ikon & go in for a diesel car.

 

diesel any day would be a better choice than cng/lpg as in diesel there is no loss of performance, ur boot space is saved & mileage is also very good.

 

if u intend to change ur car now than look at vista or swift but if there is some time from now than there is hyundai i20, fiat grande punto, new ford ikon diesel & fiat linea on its way, which will be better cars with newer features & technology.

 

but dont go for cng/lpg, its not a viable option to go for.

 

plz tell ur budget of buying a new diesel car & whjen u planning to buy it?

Mr.Deepam

I am expecting the change of job to materialize in dec as i have notice period.Then i will change to diesel.My budget is 5-6 lakhs.So i can wait if other better options are nearby.
