I will stick to my PMS. Even if it rises to 2000 per liter. Gaskiya have to many disadvantages.. it's to risky. It's cheaper now because it's not in use. Wen NIGERIANs start using it. This evil marketers will take the price to 600 naira in 3months. Dat is wat will happen. Watch n pray |

Angrygoat: In every industry, there will always be standards and sub standards. Type 1 tanks made by reputable manufacturers have an over 10year life span. CNG is safe, I am sure you noticed there were no fires in both instances , just part failures caused by substandard parts. Flash point-187.80C CNG temperature. Burning point is the lowest temperature at which sufficient oxygen conditions, spontaneous combustion can occur |

avast01: Refilling is the main issue, carrying a cylinder in and out of a vehicle is not wise. I have a lot of feasible workable solutions which have been used In India, I will share once the projects are almost ready. But it's all centered around bringing down cost of electricity via CNG . 1 Like |

Sir, your ignorance is not your problem but your close mindedness. I'm glad a lot of people corrected your wrong assumptions but I still need to reiterate it with my personal experience. The transformer in our area was faulty for 3 months (power was just restored today after I championed efforts to repair the transformer as PHED was telling us stories). During those hellish 3 months, I was running 12.5kg of gas every 7 days (4 hours run time every evening in which time I would charge my grid dependent inverter system to help me in d afternoon). I was averaging 28hours for a 12.5kg cylinder. That same generator consumes 1 liter per hour under the same load conditions (Sumec SPG3000 2.5Kw capacity). Let's put it into perspective: 28hrs weekly would have cost me 28 X 680 = N19, 040 every week (I tried running it with fuel for 3 days before I hurriedly converted) Meanwhile I bought LPG at 740-780 for the first month, taking the highest cost of 9,750 per 12.5kg, I saved 9,290 per week for the 1st month. THAT IS A SAVINGS OF 37K IN 4 WEEKS. The second month, it rose to an average of 842 per kg , I was buying at 10,525 for 12.5kg. 19,040- 10,525 = 8,515. THAT IS A SAVINGS OF 34K IN 4 WEEKS FOR MONTH 2. I bought at this same rate for the first 2 weeks of the last 4 weeks, but the last 4 weeks saw a sharp increase to 1k per kg. Taking an average, I place my spending at 11,513 per 12.5kg. 19,040 - 11,513 = 7,527. THAT IS A SAVINGS OF 30K IN 4 WEEKS FR THE LAST MONTH. TOTAL SAVINGS OF 101K BY USING LPG INSTEAD OF PMS ON MY GENERATOR FOR 3 MONTHS, 4 HOURS DAILY!!! There is something I want to point out, I only serviced the generator in the first month of use, changed a spark plug in the second month and the 3rd month, I DID NOT SERVICE OR CHANGE A SPARK PLUG!!!! My generator ran cleaner, quieter and more efficiently. I had to bring out the spark plug last week just to check, it was looking so clean. And the generator starts with a single drag. what I just narrated are facts and I don't care if you believe me or not. After all I don't sell LPG conversion kits. Just be open minded about things, do research before you try to "debunk". Eriokanmi: 4 Likes |

Thanks so much Gazzuzz for this, your experiment on LPG conversion for generators gave me the confidence to convert my generator. When I saw ur videos on TikTok, I really wanted to know the year of the Hyundai i10 so I could do some calculations on the gains you got from converting it. I'm happy U stated the year on this post. The 2012 i10 has an average fuel efficiency of 32.2 MPG or 13.68 KM per liter according to data from FUELLYdotcom (this data was gotten from 55 vehicles, tracked across 2,651 fuel ups and 568,897 miles). Using this average, that 267km trip you did with N2,450 worth of CNG would have cost you: 267/13.68= 19.5 liters to complete. That is N13,271 at N680 per liter (As sold in my area), an incredible savings of N10, 821!!!, (over 80%). I had already made up my mind to convert my car to CNG cos I had done extensive research on it before now. The only issue was that there were no CNG stations in my State. Luckily, last month a CNG station was commissioned in my state, the very next Local Government to where I stay (39km away). Your videos once again on CNG conversion are timely, I can see the practicality of it all (not just theories and figures I got online), thank you so much. I think I will begin my conversion journey while I try to get those who would partner with me to get a station operational in the town I live. [quote author=GAZZUZZ post=127135727][/quote] 1 Like |
