ask4bk: The best way to do the math's is to buy both gas and petrol of the same amount and get how long they last..find the percentage difference. The answer should be in the formats I.e gas is 20% cheaper. |

Asides buying the dual carburator kit, here in the US there are generators that are dual fuel. I. E they use either petrol or gas. I'm sure very soon our Igbo brothers will start bringing them from China. I'm even surprised that it had not been in our market since, but I guess since petrol has been dirt cheap for decades, there was no incentive for it.

LOOKS SO FANTASTIC AND A BRILLIANT IDEA TILL THE CARBURETOR MALFUNCTIONS AND CATCHES FIRE THEN GOES ON TO EXPLODE THE GAS CYLINDER THERE'S A REASON WHY GENERATORS ARE MADE TO RUN ON GASOLINE MOSTLY SAME CARBURETOR THAT WILL BE LEAKING THE GAS AND YOU WON'T KNOW TILL IT EXPLODES

nurey:Compressed natural gas (CNG) is a popular alternative fuel for vehicles that are gaining traction due to its environmental and economic benefits. CNG is a clean-burning fuel that produces lower emissions than traditional gasoline or diesel, and it can also be less expensive to use. In this article, we will discuss the benefits and disadvantages of using CNG as an alternative fuel for vehicles. Advantages of CNG Lower Emissions CNG is a clean-burning fuel that produces fewer emissions than traditional gasoline or diesel. When burned, it produces significantly lower levels of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. This makes it a more environmentally friendly option for vehicles. Cost Savings CNG is often less expensive than gasoline or diesel, which can result in significant cost savings for drivers and fleet operators. The cost of CNG can vary depending on location and supply, but in many cases, it is considerably cheaper than traditional fuels. Energy Security CNG is domestically produced, which can improve energy security and reduce reliance on foreign oil. This can also reduce the impact of fluctuations in global oil prices. Longer Engine Life CNG burns cleaner than traditional fuels, which can result in less engine wear and longer engine life. This is because CNG produces less carbon build-up, which can reduce engine performance over time. Disadvantages of CNG Limited Range One of the main disadvantages of CNG vehicles is their limited range. CNG has a lower energy density than gasoline, which means that a CNG vehicle may need to refuel more frequently than a gasoline-powered vehicle. This can be an issue for drivers who need to travel long distances. Limited Fuelling Infrastructure Another disadvantage of CNG vehicles is the limited availability of CNG fuelling stations. While the number of CNG fuelling stations is growing, they are still not as widely available as gasoline stations. This can make it difficult for drivers to find a fuelling station when they need one. High Upfront Costs CNG vehicles can be more expensive than traditional gasoline or diesel vehicles. This is because they require special fuel storage tanks and other equipment to use CNG as fuel. While the cost of CNG vehicles is coming down, the upfront cost can still be a barrier for some drivers. Safety Concerns CNG is a flammable gas, and there are some safety concerns associated with its use as a vehicle fuel. CNG vehicles must be designed and built to strict safety standards, and there are regulations in place to ensure that CNG fueling stations are safe for use. Conclusion CNG is a clean-burning and cost-effective alternative fuel for vehicles that offers several benefits over traditional gasoline or diesel. It produces fewer emissions, can save drivers money on fuel costs and can improve energy security. However, there are some disadvantages to using CNG as a vehicle fuel, including limited range, limited fueling infrastructure, high upfront costs, and safety concerns. Ultimately, the decision to use CNG as a fuel for vehicles depends on individual needs and preferences, as well as the availability of fueling infrastructure in the area. For drivers who have access to CNG fueling stations and do not need to travel long distances, CNG can be a viable alternative fuel option. 1 Like

Re: I Converted My Generator to LPG And Tested The Fuel Consumption/Cost by honesttalk21: 11:45pm On Jun 12, 2023 |
Very impressive. Will be interested in results if equal weights or equivalent volumes of fuel are used. You should convert the PMS to a Kg weight by getting the volume of fuel that weighs 1kg. Measure out 1kg of PMS or use the mass/density relation to get the required volume of PMS. Divide 1 by 0.7436 though there's no guarantee the PMS will necessarily have this density so you could just as well 1kg of PMS. Generally, gas is a more efficient energy source but if you don't mind please redo the test. Thanks a lot. And kudos to you. |

Great job bro. To be fair in drawing your conclusion , it would have been clearer to a layman in the street if you had bought PMS worth of #650 same price as LPG . That would be PMS ββ- #650 worth LPG βββ# 650 The price difference as it regards mileage would have been slimmer. On this ground, one would conclude if the price difference or what you want to save , worths conversion and safety the troubles 1 Like |
