I just ordered this kit today from alaba. It's less than 20k.

The use of lpg is far cheaper.

12.5kg of gas will run for more than 42 hrs.

25litrs of fuel will not give you 24hours on same gen.

This text has been done in Nnewi last week, the carburetor already has a dealer there who has large quantity in stock.

LPG gas is too expensive in Nigeria to make a difference

in saner climes, 1 Kg of LPG is around half the price of 1 litre of petrol

It might even be more expensive to run on LPG sef grin

Nigeria na nonsense abeg. All of us don enter am whether you like it or not tongue

Sorry to ask, is the price of LPG same as CNG? Because I was told at NIPCO gas that CNG is 110 Naira per KG.

Kindly confirm please






LNG will be more expensive as it is more compressed, so more work done and higher price.



I have a feeling that the cost of running CNG will almost be the same as current petrol price.

That deceptive APC government is simply using CNG propanganda to divert attention on the proper use of the replaced subsidy money

You're right. Nice one sha Gazzuzz. At least now folks can know what to expect and go for what works for them. At the current price point of both, it looks like a tie to me...although the lpg would be better for the environment.
MODIFIED: I can now see that the 2hr 38 was uploaded while the LPG test was still in progress, and the 3hrs 17 is the final score
Also, like someone pointed out, shouldn't CNG have been used in place of LPG?. Cos I know cars run on CNG wella, so gens should be able to as well, AND CNG is wayyyy cheaper. I think CNG should have been used, and that one makes financial sense big time.

In response to the removal of PMS subsidy.

I have installed an LPG/CNG carburettor that also works with PMS (petrol)

Kindly note

Fuel tank emptied via the supply hose .

Scale set to measure lpg as it is consumed in KG

1L of fuel measured out into a gallon and will be poured into gen.

Same amount of load will be applied in both instances .

Timer set to zero.

I will start with LPG.... Will run for 1KG and I will turn it off once it hits 1kg on the scale the
mark the time.

Next will be petrol PMS, it will also run for 1L then I will mark the amount of time it took before gen went off.

1kg of gas = ₦650 (June 12 2023)

1L of petrol = ₦500 (June 12 2023)

Let's start.

Any questions feel free to ask.


Modified summary


Total time of LPG - 197mins at #650/kg

= #3.3/min

Total time or petrol - 106 mins at #500/l

= #4.7/m

Another way of looking at it .

With Gas

By calculation

1kg of gas at 650naira per kg lasted 3.17hours (3hours 17mins)

How many kg of gas per hour
650/3.17= 205.

Cost per hour = ₦205

I.e ₦205 of gas lasted one hour

*With Petrol*

One liter at #500 lasted 1.46mins (one hour 46mins)

Cost per hour= 500/1.46 = ₦342


Conclusion LPG cheaper

Good day my dear brother. I would like some clarification on how the gas is administered versus the petrol because the entire 1kg of gas may be fully exhausted and we'll measured, but the petrol, if poured into a completely empty tank, there may be some reserve fuel left in the tank which the generator may not be able to utilize before it goes off. How do we account for that.

Good question.

I factored that consideration into my calculations by draining fuel from the carburettor supply line not by emptying the tank complete.

Approximately 1L of petrol was used in this experiment.
