I Converted My Generator to LPG And Tested The Fuel Consumption/Cost by GAZZUZZ(m): 12:29pm On Jun 12, 2023 |
In response to the removal of PMS subsidy. I have installed an LPG/CNG carburettor that also works with PMS (petrol) Kindly note Fuel tank emptied via the supply hose . Scale set to measure lpg as it is consumed in KG 1L of fuel measured out into a gallon and will be poured into gen. Same amount of load will be applied in both instances . Timer set to zero. I will start with LPG.... Will run for 1KG and I will turn it off once it hits 1kg on the scale the mark the time. Next will be petrol PMS, it will also run for 1L then I will mark the amount of time it took before gen went off. 1kg of gas = ₦650 (June 12 2023) 1L of petrol = ₦500 (June 12 2023) Let's start. Any questions feel free to ask. Modified summary Total time of LPG - 197mins at #650/kg = #3.3/min Total time or petrol - 106 mins at #500/l = #4.7/m Another way of looking at it . With Gas By calculation 1kg of gas at 650naira per kg lasted 3.17hours (3hours 17mins) How many kg of gas per hour 650/3.17= 205. Cost per hour = ₦205 I.e ₦205 of gas lasted one hour *With Petrol* One liter at #500 lasted 1.46mins (one hour 46mins) Cost per hour= 500/1.46 = ₦342 Conclusion LPG cheaper Personally gas is so safer than pms any day, but I'll have to put out this warning. WARNING!!!! LPG IS FLAMMABLE. THE GAS LINE AND GAS CYLINDER SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY FROM NAKED FLAMES AND HOT SURFACES. WHEN TROUBLESHOOTING A PROBLEM WITH YOUR GEN USE PMS ESPECIALLY FOR VALVE AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES. FINALLY THE END PRODUCT IS STILL CARBON MONOXIDE AND GEN SHOULD NEVER BE USED IN A CONFINEMENT, CARBON MONOXIDE WILL KILL IF THIS HAPPENS. Happy independence day people . 363 Likes 53 Shares

nurey: If you use a Non-Explosive Composite Fibre Cylinder, you won't have to worry about explosion with LPG, LNG, CNG or any other type of gas. I'm just waiting for the results to come in, so I can decide on what to do next with my generator. In terms of pricing, it is possible that petrol prices will fall a little with less demand if many Nigerians switch to gas to fuel their cars and generators, but what will happen to the price of gas with the high demand? You expect price of gas to remain below N700 per kg? 107 Likes 8 Shares

GAZZUZZ: Great that the final results will be in Naira/hour as this gives a clearer picture (at least to me) of comsumption than the weight/volume comparison which is quite difficult to quantify or justify. 29 Likes 4 Shares |
