brightleave:@gazzuzz i think to make this experiment more even, buy gas and petrol worth 1000naira and do the experiment again. That way we are comparing the actual cost of the fuel to the duration. Thanks this is my observation 6 Likes 1 Share |

Obnoxious2001:exactly bro thanks. Filling station is 0.75 litres I have measured it b4 useless people. Yh he is right though it will run 1hr 30mins true if your carburetor is new. If u set the valve it will max 2hrs 30min but can damage the engine and cause it to overheat |

GAZZUZZ: Meanwhile, the lousy ones continue to strategise on how to increase oil production in the Niger Delta region, contaminate the environment with effluents, refuse to pay compensation, and tell others: move back to your erosion-ravaged Southeast region. |

Gajagojo:what you are trying to do is to check calorific value of both fuel ( a simple use kg/cost would then give you the price) I was only trying to save you some stress instead of reinventing the wheel. The difference is around 5mj/kg which you can then use to compute price difference and then see if it is worth it plus the added safety issues. |

Re: I Converted My Generator to LPG And Tested The Fuel Consumption/Cost by saintneo(m): 7:59pm On Jun 12, 2023 |
GAZZUZZ: Your calculations on per minute consumption is correct, the per hour consumption is not right. Nevertheless, this is a good analysis and it will be beneficial to use LPG. BTW what is the cost of the carburettor? |

Pythagoras001: No we are not interested in caorific value just cost That is a technical issue If I want to compare fire wood to gas I will not be talking in kilograms but Naira cost of cooking the same amount of food Talk to people in their own language not yours that is the essence of effective communication All people want to know is which is cheaper gas or petrol to run generator for the same time Kilograms will not feature in the answer One does not even need to have any concept of calories to answer the question It is purely a financial question Just like an illiterate motorist knows how many litres of petrol will take him from A to B from experience 23 Likes 2 Shares |

brightleave: Maybe maths was never your stronghold in school. But to do his calculation in relation to naira he has to compare 1kg of gas to 1 litre of fuel because their prices are known. That's the only way to do the maths. He can't use 1kg of fuel just because he used 1kg of gas. 5 Likes |

This good option has been existing for some time and it's time to turn to it.; all you need to care for is a standard and original cylinder. It's the best option for now. It meaningfully cuts cost and noise. |

airsaylongcome:. Factually that is true but irrelevant. Logic is not about facts but thinking What is the purpose of the experiment? To determine which is cheaper. The design of the experiment therefore should ensure a like for like comparison of placing maximum load on the generator and running it for a fixed period with petrol checking the cost of petrol used in naira ,repeating it with gas and comparing the two costs. That is all That gas contains more calories than petrol is taking us into the realm of thermodynamics which is very interesting but tangential to the issue at hand E.g does the generator extract all the chemical energy in gas with equal efficiency as it does for petrol in form of electricity or is there leakage as heat. All that is important in a physics class. Not here. What matters here is cost Your assumption that because a particular fuel contains more energy than another therefore it will last longer is not necessarily true. That is a function of engine efficiency/design. Engines burn a fuel yes but a generator can waste a lot of that as heat or noise without generation of electricity. That is not important to the average person 8 Likes |
