Lpg conversion for Maruti Esteem vxi or santro xing 2005or 2004 model.

Hi friends i am planing to buy used 2004 or 2005 Maruti Esteem or Santro Xing. I would like to know if lpg kit is fitted to these cars,will it work properly and what will be the mileage. which kit will be best in bangalore.

Approval for LPG kit/retrofitment is car/model-specific.  Check for the ones approved for these cars.  Go for original Italian kit.  It would cost in the range of 18-22K.

Mileage will reduce, say from 12 to 10 but the running cost will obviously be cheaper (cost of LPG).  There will be some loss of power/performance - it will not match with that on petrol - but the difference may not be noticed/felt much in normal driving conditions/style.

Thank you pankaj for the reply.

One more thing i want know is once i get lpg kit from LOVATO.(italian company)can i inject LPG from comercial LPG cylinders or domestic lpg cylinders using LPG pump,because my parents live in small village there is no facility for refueling LPG . By using these lpg gas from cylinders will harm the engine.

Yes, I think it will harm to some extent (in long run) - am not aware of the technical reasons. 

Some people do refill domestic LPG for non-availability of commercial LPG & also because domestic is cheaper.  But please note that use of domestic LPG is illegal.

I am aware of use of domestic LPG is illegal.But we are going to use commercial cylinders to inject the gas to the vehicle tank. Can you please tell me where i can get the pump used to inject the gas to the tank of vehicle in and around bangalore.

Sorry, I'm not aware of that.  Hope someone else is able to post some info.

Yes, use of domestic LPG is illegal and not advisable at the same time.But, i have also seen people transferring gas from domestic Cylender to the car cylender. Ask the rettrofitters i am sure they will help you buy that pump and you might get some lectures on how to use the pump.

Vikhyat if you are buying a Second hand car Consider Esteem as your first option-Just because you get some boot space in esteem even after the Gas kit installation.

what will be the price of 2004 or 2005  maruti esteem in bangalore. do you have any idea.

I think it would cost in the range of Rs.2 to 2.50 lac - depending upon the model/version, kms done & condition of the car.
