Hi there,
Can anyone tell me the problems with Gas conversion for Petrol engines pls? I have witnessed my friend's Maruti Esteem burnt totally after he went for Gas. But one of my Delhi friend says most of Delhi cabs have these kits. One of my relative had a Maruti fitted with Gas kit and he used it for 3 years safely. Ofcourse I did not like the rattling noise and his frequent ignition problems. Is this more to buy and get a certified clean kit or is it a matter of luck you escape the hazards? Any clarity will be helpful.
Between I have a Safari 2004 petrol version which has been the pointer of this discussions. Any Safari owners experience is greatly apreciated - though I don't want my guzzler to be noisy. Thanks in advance.
Rgds

If it is LPG that is worrying you, go for CNG - some of Tata's petrol indicas are approved for CNG - YMMV for safari.

Well, the rattling noise and ignition problems comes as a package with gas kit. Take it this way, your car is designed and made to work on petrol as fuel, some parts in the engine like valve seats and piston rings won't act as same as with gas and it will make cirtain problems. A good gas kit always make things better but not perfect. Pick up is a great aria of concern in gas converted petrol engines.

I researched this and it averages out at about £95 per hour then the kit on top. usually 7-8 hour labour. Needless to say I had the kit from my old R Rover, and I paid my brother to fit it ( he is qualified) They do pay for themselves though if you do a lot of driving!
