CNG installation SE Saloon 2004

[babar822]

Hi,
I own a Toyota Corolla SE Saloon 2004 (1600 cc), petrol. Due to the recent hike in petrol prices, I am considering installing CNG in my car. Is it a good idea to convert it on CNG? My car's daily running is around 80km in city. How much is the CNG fuel consumption of a similar well tuned car?

Regards
Babar

CNG is a bad idea, it destroys the car, the amount you save on gas is spent on the vehicle. Unless you mostly travel on highways, i won't recommend it. As for consumption, it would do around 15-16 km/kg.

Using CNG in my car from 2011 did not face any issues you mentioned above. Older models such as his 2004 runs fine on CNG.

Yes if you are going for a new kit than calculate how much time it will take to recover the cost.

Do you use it purely on cng or do you use it on petrol on alternate days?

How much is the installation cost and where can I get the best kit and cylinder in Karachi?

Forgot to mention that my car is manual.

Yes full time CNG.

New M. A Jinnah Road -Jail Crossing both sides have plenty of CNG kit installers, check out the price idea. DO NOT BUY an INDIAN origin CNG Cylinder.

They also sell 2nd hand kits with certified cylinders.

In Karachi,go to Classic CNG. It is located in Block-3, Gulshan-e-Iqbal adjacent to famous Alam Nihari on Main Rashid Minhas road near Luckyone Mall (opposite of Moti Mehal stop)

2 Brothers named Amir Bhai & Munna Bhai are running this setup since long there. Go for Landi Renzo CNG kit with 60 Litre CNG cylinder of brand "Faber" or "Inflex"

Some other brands are:
1 Faber Industries, Italy
2 Worthington Heiser, Austria
3 Everest Kanto Cylinder (EKC) Ltd., lndia
4 Inflex, Argentina
5 Dalmine spa, Italy
6 Beijing Tianhai Industrial Co., China

I have been using cng from almost 2 decades now and did conversion kit in Several cars, never felt Big issues....small minor issues are common and ignoreable too so go to conversion with closed Eyes
