Nice analysis by op Considering the new proximity of diesel price to that of LPG and petrol, please someone else should help us analyse as well the consumption rate of diesel for power generation in relation to LPG.. At least I know as a fact that diesel burns far slower than petrol. Because way I am looking at it, diesel might be more cost effective for power generation than LPG or petrol presently..and far safer than these LPG to petrol generator wahala... 2 Likes |

excanny:CNG is an abbreviation of “Compressed Natural Gas” whereas LPG is an abbreviation of “Liquefied Petroleum Gas”. The primary difference between CNG and LPG lies in the components that make up these fuels. While CNG is primarily made up of Methane, LPG is primarily made up of propane.use your brain, everything doesn't have to be propaganda 9 Likes 1 Share |

eghuan1:Price are not the same and CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) is different from LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas). LPG, which is either propane or butane (or mixture of both) is also known as Cooking Gas or Domestic Gas. |

The cylinder size is 28kg when full. It can contain 12.5kg of propane (LPG) or equivalent fluid content of 26.5 litres. A 6.5kVA generator contains 25 litres of fuel and it can only run for a maximum of 12 hours. I stand to be corrected. The OP must have done the test on a 2KVA generator. I intend to do this test as well. I will run a full 12.5kg cylinder of gas and see how many hours it will last, then run the same gen on a full tank, watch the consumption and the cost, then find out how many litres of PMS it will take to match the number of hours it will take to exhaust a full LPG cylinder. 8 Likes |

Nigerian gas is heavily underutilized. We are still flaring 66% of natural gas. In Jan to November 2022, Nigeria flared 216.5 billion standard cubic feet of gas . All this wastage since 1956 will now find usage. 3 Likes |

GAZZUZZ:This is actually LPG, CNG is cheaper and the rate will still be same. As at today, CNG is sold around 130 to 15o per kg but my question is does the carburetor serve both LPG and CNG ? because I know they cannot be mix and I also know the engine can work with either of LPG and CNG but the kits( carburator) cannot fit for duo . Like u need to get a CNG carburetor if you're using an LPG own. Can you clarify gazzuz 1 Like |
