I bought it at #670 early last month.

Today the bike man took me to a filling station here in Berger where they sell it for #500.

When he first told me that it’s #500 per kg, I didn’t believe him until I got there.

How much is it in your area?

No be to buy at #500/kg. The question is are you actually getting exactly 1kg? Weigh and note the empty weight of your cylinder, refill it, weigh the cylinder after refill and see if you are actually getting what you paid for.

I will start supporting Tinubu if osunbor is actually on the list..That man is just too intelligent

I see him running for governorship while being a minister. He'll quit the ministerial job if he wins the guber election.

I really don't know how his relationship with Oshiomhole is now.

okine4real:
Don't just type two lines, explain how it gives more run time, how much gas do you buy and how many hours does it last?

I get almost 4 hours run time from 1kg of gas on my regular load. I haven't accademically checked how many hours I get from petrol but I know it's way less than 4 hours

dalass:
Please who can do this conversion ?

For a generator

For a car

Thanks in advance

I did it myself. Got the gas/petrol carburettor, removed the old carburettor from the generator and replaced with with the new gas/petrol generator. Get a hose of desirable length and connect the carburettor to a a low pressure regulator connected to the gas cylinder. If you can't do it yourself, ask around in your area for any generator technician who can help you with it.

I have converted to using LPG. It gives more run time than petrol.

GabrielYulaw:
Compressed gas is an explosive. Far as I remember, the Party of God used compressed gas designed to function as a thermobaric weapon for their Beirut Barracks bombing.

My main issue with gas is its explosive nature. It can blow up and kill you before you can write your will. Or it can blow up and kill someone and you will be charged for murder. Petrol on the other hand loves to burn. But even if it blows up and burns me, I probably won't die right away and will have time to say my goodbyes and cough up my ATM and Skrill PIN.
So, there's no way I am ever gonna use CNG on gen. And in fact, I have resolved to go the solar route.

Gas explosion occurs when gas leaks and saturates the immediate environment and there's no proper ventilation to clear such saturation. If you operate your generator in a well ventilated environment, and there's a leakage of gas, the air around would clear the gas leak before it gets saturated. Mind you, the gas cylinder regulator and carburettor are designed to release very little amount of gas per time.

However, all safety protocols must be observed when handling highly flammable materials. Lock your cylinder regulator once you put off the generator (or lock the regulator before putting off the gen). Before putting on the generator, check that the regulator is locked before opening it for use. If it happens that you forget to lock it before and it has been opened for some time, lock the regulator and wait for like a minute before opening it again for operation.

Again, make sure it is LPG you're using and not CNG.

doggedfighter:
Sitting pretty here.



My own is that I was expecting emphasis to be more on the use of CNG which is cheaper if price is the major concern but

I won't recommend CNG because it has a very high pressure

Once upon a time on this side of the world, children use to die due to SCD and those deaths were termed mysterious or related to something spiritual. With advances in medical sciences, the pathophysiology of SCD was unraveled. Now you can choose to birth an SCD offspring or avoid it, even when both couple has the sickle cell gene. The choice is now your's. Candidly, avoid it in any way possible.

Its a good thing that you put up this write-up OP. I very much like the last paragraph of your write-up where you welcomed both aligning and non aligning comments. Your post is seeking more clarification to the subject, so I wouldn't tag it a rejoinder par se.

1. Disclaimer: my opinions here are not from a marketing persperctive but rather an objective analysis of the subject. I don't have any commercial interest in this subject. I'm just a curious mind open to all types of knowledge.

2. LPG just like petrol is a chemical and a type of fuel which has its own safe handling and operational specifications regulations. Understanding these regulations makes LPG handling less risky. Have you seen a gas truck ever had and accident on the highway and the tank container LPG explode? It is very rare. Reason is because the tank is designed to hold its content in extreme conditions including high impact. Same thing apply to the cylinders we use at home. They hardly explode and spill there content. The main reason for fire accidents resulting from LPG is mostly due to leakages from the valves, hose, regulators and other accessories and the the cylinder itself. One a leaky dent is detected on a cylinder as a result of rust, such cylinder MUST be condemned totally. Once a petrol truck crash, the tanker is prone to content spillage and has a high chance of resulting in fire accident. This is not so for lpg tanks.

3. Regarding the petrol/LPG, on the cost side, all things being equal, LPG will give you more run time than petrol. As for diesel, I'm not too sure of that. Another thing to note is that LPG prices fluctuate and the current price of between 550 - 700 that it is being sold now could be the lowest. What then happens when price of LPG rises? The carburettor in question here is a dual or triple fuel carburettor, which can switch between CNG, LPG and petrol. So when price of LPG rises, you can easily switch to CNG or petrol without changing the carburettor. This is not possible with a diesel carburettor.

4. As for the working principle of the carburettor, the carburettor helps to create a spark combustion which is a result of the proper combination of a spark, air and appropriate fuel which could be petrol of gas in this case. The carburettor uses same chamber for the air and fuel mixture. Even if there is peradventure a mixture of the LPG and petrol in the chamber, it won't results in any "explosion". It can result to jerking of the generator which can make the generator go off eventually. If one forgets to switch of the gas supply to the carburettor, the gas will flow out of the carburettor since it is not air tight. Once this is discovered the gas regulator should be shut immediately and then allow ventilation to clear the gas in the surrounding atmosphere. Generators shouldn't be operated in poorly ventilated spaces.

5. Regarding the kind of fume generated, carbon monoxide is a major constituent of fumes generated by both fuel. However, that from LPG is cleaner.

6. Remember people use to dread the use of LPG for cooking then. The story is not the same again. The use of LPG and CNG to power generators and cars is not a new trend in Nigeria. Some commercial and private vehicles have been using it in Benin city for some time now the last time I was in that city.

7. Just ensure you use original accessories, get all you connections done properly, observe all the safety procedures and you are good to go.

Just my objective non professional submission on the subject matter.

Dhury:
your envy to others progress is in your lineage. Note that the report said;naira devaluation is part of the factors that affected his incomes.go to court as your country made Dangote richer than you.

What exactly made him lose that position over night just after the devaluation of the naira. You seem to have envy towards others as your default thought hence the reason you're seeing my post from the point of envy. Why should I be envious of one who is way ahead?

I hope he actually means it

This is what happens when your country makes you wealthy. Once the country goes broke, you go broke too. Any significant economic policy shift will definitely affect you positively or negatively.

tonididdy:
Where have you seen dates written along side prices?

I can as well save this price picture and post it somewhere else later in the year when prices would have gone up

meritadavize1:
I doubt if u will say this if reverse is de case

Reverse in what sense?

Moblux:
As a reseller I bought at 552/kg today.

Where is this and how much do you now resell?

olaniyilukman:
This is January now

Don't mind him.

tonididdy:

Lol …. and the dates cannot be manipulated ( edited)!

If the date was written same way the prices were written, you can easily notice any manipulation.

meritadavize1:
God bless Mr president

Got nothing to do with the president. Gas prices usually drop around this time. It will go up again later in the year. Its seasonal price fluctuations

GAZZUZZ:
Just confirmed, it is ₦500 per kg bovas

Nothing shows that these are recent pictures. Let's have date on the pictures

Give her another plaque for that

denzel231:
lol... Hahaha. I understand.. u would have gone for that other type of gas cylinder, I have forgotten it's name, it doesn't explode.. as long you are the only one using it and it's a safe place, it's actually good.

How many times have you seen a domestic cooking gas cylinder explode? Cylinder explosion is not a usual occurrence in cooking gas fire accidents. Gas leakages from improperly connected hose or substandard hose and faulty regulators are usually the causes of such accidents, not the cylinder itself.

Diddycsbsb:
you will never succeed you will never take a life with this nonsense you are show casing, how can you advise Nigerians to be using this nonsense.

But people have been using this technology since. Its not new. It is only coming out popular now cos of the increased cost of pms. Remember people were running away from using cooking gas for cooking some years back? Where are we today with that? Even grandmas have a camping gas cylinder in their kitchen today

ask4bk:
Can you Buy 1k gas? Sincère question actually

Yes you can. You can even buy less than 1kg. Its a matter of calculations

Pedyson:
You forgot to list the power factor (generator power rate), it also determine the amount of gas/pms per liter it consumes
Or doesn’t power factor has effect on the timing?

He used same generator and load for the two types of fuel.

ConfidentialDoc:
I hear mobile phones can set off explosion of the CNG/LPG. I hope we won't have more cases of this.

Any scientific evidence to support this hearsay?

Asabe4:
Subsidy drama

Edo children living the dream of other kids

I honestly don't think this is a wise move though. Very bad decision. How do you make a child idle for four days in a week.

They should have thought this through and come up with a better way of reducing the impact of fuel subsidy on these children and teachers.

You could suggest a better way.

Vendetta

Copy and paste

Not all rosy out there

Lol. When village people finally decide to stamp your file for final approval.

slawomir:
Damnnn niggar
I don't see any car price crashing

Nothing will crash stop playing ...we are just too greedy in this part of the world

Before the removal of subsidy...a lexus es 350 V6 was sold for between 6.5 million to 7.4million

Go and check again now or wait after one month and check again

Am even thinking people will now buy thier own cars now that fuel price gone up which means public transport will double plus the uncomfortable atmosphere that comes with public transport ...where them dey carry for 200 naira before na 400 naira

From Abuja to Benin city with God is good motor na 27000 thousands naira now...so it will be better you just fuel your own car with 12000 naira and drive from Abuja to Benin city

Your thoughts here are all wrong. The prices of the Lexus you quoted will deprecate compared to a corolla due to high fuel consumption. On the long run, cost of commuting in public transport will be way cheaper than commuting with a person car, so more people might opt for public transport.

Is it that same Lexus you quoted that you will fuel with 12k from Abuja to Benin? Lol

She only trends as Davido's baby mama or Imade's mother. What else do we know about her that makes her trend? Just asking!
