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 .

Let's go

Nice one Chief. I have been looking for this since the removal of subsidy.

How much do you get the carburetor?

I just need to know the number of hours they last.

Brought popcorn and ice cream.
Let's begin.

Nah the explosive tendency of the CNG/LNG dey fear me.

But this is good, let more people switch yo CNG/LNG so the price of petrol can come down for poor people like me

I gat my eyes on this..E get reason.

Thanks for making this easier for us . We now have to choose the best options for us. Wey my weed self.

I'm follower

This is why I'm still holding back. I want to see the difference especially time and consumption. I'll be following this topic

[quote author=GAZZUZZ post=123742979][/quote]That liter no complete.

You dey use glasses ni?

No do ojoro oo.

GAZZUZZ:
Load or idle, gen will run on similar conditions for both fuels .

Hmmmmm

Not entirely true but let's see how it fares first.

Load affects some stuffs oo.

It won't affect the price.

Rest.

Is the generator working already? So I can start counting down..

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?

One must learn from this thread

You wan start vawulent talk, we go start Vawulence o!

Izzit your generator?
Izzit your starting?
Izzit your gas?
Izzit your fuel?
Izzit your counting?

Leave our generator and stop counting.

Focused on the results

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.

Waiting for the results

Where are test crew?

Depotivo

Sienna

I'll be back baby

Sorry to ask, is the price of LPG same as CNG? Because I was told at NIPCO gas that CNG is 110 Naira per KG.

Kindly confirm please
