sukkot:
demand and supply. if everybody converts to LPG the demand is huge so they jack up the price. we are back to square one

Nigeria flares billions of cubic feet of gas every year. We have it in almost limitless supply, and we are not importing it. The price should even be coming down as we do more utilization of what is being flared.

stagger:
I did a test with the LPG carburetor on a 6.5KVA gen with water pump, ac and washing machine load.

I got 9 hours of power on 12.5 kg which I got for N7,500.

That's a cost of N833 per hour.

Same gen has a 25 litre PMS tank which runs for 12 hours (on limited load; one ac only). That's N13,500 (@ N540/litre) for 12 hours, or N1,125 per hour.

Savings per hour: N1,125 - N833 = N292 per hour.

Using the LPG carburetor and gas for 6 hours a day (assuming you want to run it from 6pm to 12 midnight if there is no power), you save N292 X 6 = N1,752 per day.

Over 30 days, that's savings of N52,560. Over a year, that's savings of N630,720.

Meanwhile, I imported my carburetor from China at a cost of 17,500. It was delivered to my house. Cylinder kept at a distance of 6 yards away.
The only thing I notice is that I have to put the gas on and leave it for 1 minute to enter the system, and then I have to pull three or four times before it kicks in. Also have to return the choke pretty fast or it will go off.

Have been using this system for a month now. No issues.

I will advice not to fill your gas at roadside vendors. Air in the cylinder instead of LPG will cause the gen to start fluctuating.

Still doesn't make sense if you factor in the risk, cost of cylinder, gas and the cost of maintaining the carburettor.

Cos I don't think you changed the top cylinder like @jceesquare advised. Abi na lie e lie?

Who you still agree gas is cheaper and more efficient?

Workch:
LPG is has very low density, hence the calculation we have is 1kg of LPG contains 20.7megajoules of energy.
PMS is denser hence produced more energy per KG than LPG.

1 litre of PMS produces 31.5 megajoules of energy.

1 litre of fuel is 500
1kg of LPG is 550.
Fuel is still cheaper unless you have an explanation for energy efficiency with LPG cuberator.

Interestingly

What about Diesel Generators...any solution?
@gazzuzz

jceesquare:

Caused by excessive heat.
Check if the blades on the fan on the starter recoil is fine and sucks in air.
Make sure gen is in a well ventilated area.
Ask your technician to check valve clearance and adjust.
Finally always check your oil level before starting and change oil when due.

This is a new gen. Works well on petrol. The engr said that this is the negative side of gas. While the positive side is little or no need to change oil as the oil doesn't burn. Plus the low noise and emission.

All is the result of bad solar and inverter been sold. If the Solar power were efficient no body will reason all these at all.

Is it Safe?

What's the risk here? Your PMS tank on the gen is even more risky. Some of you pour fuel immediately your gen goes off from fuel exhaustion, without realizing that a drop of fuel on the hot exhaust can ignite the whole place.

I did not change the top cylinder. I already have 7 gas cylinders I bought from yesteryears, so it is not a new purchase for me. I also do not understand what you mean by maintaining carburetor. Nothing to maintain.

Gas is the way to go. This technology has been around for at least 15 years. Nigeria is only adopting it because fuel costs have been subsidized all these decades and gas was expensive (12k for 12.5kg at some point last year), so there was no incentive to run on gas.

I don't think that's true. Both petrol and gas are highly inflammable and combustible gases that would be burnt in the combustion chamber.
Both would produce extreme heat when ignited by the spark plug to drive the piston downward.
I don't understand why one would cause damage and the other won't.
I might be wrong though.

Lol una don increase the Carburator price na...


Well he sha good people are using the opportunity Govt policy na it will favor some people while it won't favor some people....


With how Nigerians dey always make mouth reach I never see anybody online advertising conversion of Petrol tank To Gas tank in Vehicle Online....

CNG wey dem don dey use in Benin City since 2016/2017

Slawormir e true

Lots of things they wont tell you with the test starting from load.. To durability of your gen

GAZZUZZ:
Looking for a functional, Durable LPG/CNG/Petrol HYBRID Carburettor? Look no further.

Advantages

* LPG/CNG is much cheaper to run than petrol

* Ability to use 3 types of fuels (LPG/CNG/Petrol)

* Easy Straight Forward installation. (5mins)

* LPG doesn’t damage engine parts, LPG vs petrol is cleaner burning than petrol or diesel in an engine

* No more fuel contamination issues with bad petrol, fewer visits to the repair place .

* No more carbon build up inside combustion chamber, greatly reduces maintenance cost.

* Flexibility: if petrol is scarce use LPG, if LPG is scarce use petrol or CNG

* Safer Handling LPG/CNG

* LPG may actually prolong engine life


The carburettors come in 2 types .

The medium sized generators GX160 and GX200 series for generators from 2-4.5kva

The big sized Gen GX390 series from 5kva - 12kva

Individual parts are also Available for DIY peeps that want to make their own designs for incompatible gen types.

Simple installation

may actually improve engine life. all these your brouhaha, that you never ran text to confirm. You come online claiming, it doesn't damage engine parts. At which engineering company did you test this things you're saying. Nigeria is just lawless, I'm not surprised the thing even made it to front page. As long as you pay, we can approve anything and let you sell

Calabar1stSon:
Wished CNG was readily available. I can't be playing with LPG.

So you chose to play with CNG than LPG? Do you know the difference between the two? CNG has higher pressure than LPG. You need stronger hose and cylinders to handle CNG

Don't mislead people here, I'm using it but I only change the carburetor

JuanJO:
you have to change the top cylinder. Gas carburator has its own

davillian:
I'm scared of gas o

But you use it to cook inside your enclosed kitchen, or don't you?

Workch:
I enumerated the amount of energy 1kg of gas and 1litre of fuel willl produce.

1 litre of fuel still produced 31.5mjoules of energy while 1kg of LPG will produce 20.7megajoules.

Fuel is still cheaper

You're taking this in another different direction entirely. The energy you're talking about here, is it electric energy? This thread is all about getting more time of electric energy from the generator using LPG compared to petrol and it has been proven that at the current price of LPG, you'll still get more value for your money.

To avoid hard starting, just open your choke very small

I will advice not to fill your gas at roadside vendors. Air in the cylinder instead of LPG will cause the gen to start fluctuating.

You wrote only the advantages without disadvantages which makes it incomplete.

But how far will 1 litre of fuel go vs1kg of LPG

Very honest review ,gas is cheaper,oversabbi ppl go come here telling us otherwise!

The reason for the hard start and waiting for a minute could be as a result of the length of your hose or the condition of your spark plug. Mine come up at one start.

On your roadside purchase and air inside cylinder, there's nothing like "air" inside cylinder. Just ensure you know the empty weight of your cylinder and final weight after refilling. There's nothing like filling "air" inside cylinder because air has no significant weight in this context
