LPG in CNG Cylinder - Please Guide for Refill locations in Karachi

Mileage is the difference plus Pick is improved comparatively.

In brother's Mehran, CNG used to give 13 to 13.5(with A/C) on CNG while it is giving 22 Km per Kg(with A/C) and 24 Km per Kg without A/C in crowdy jam traffic while gives additional 2 to 3 Kilometers in open traffic on continuous Roads.

No, Smell is not like 2 decades ago or what I experienced 30-32 years ago. It is ok now.

@Massive_One
Ask your brother and cousin about only issue which I observed that in colder nights or early morning, it takes 2 to 3 self in start which it takes half self to restart on Petrol or CNG... Might be some other issue in car or due to LPG .I have not reached to conclusion

yes, i have noticed that too in Khyber especially. When he was starting, it took 2-3 selfs at least.. and on very cold nights, the car was not going above 100 km/h : )

about Alto, when he started, it started in first self ... but i'll reconfirm that how is it behaving these days ..

The problem of Khyber regarding self is that the initial gas supply is low, you need to give a little very little self and then give the proper long self. It will work. To correct it I guess you need to increase the gas supply at idle.

[Massive_One]

indeed, i believe that too, as my brother is keeping gas supply at super economy level ..

[xenerking]

the khyber n Alto, both are carby engines and very limited electronics, while swift is EFI which relies on data from various sensors n adjusts performance accordingly, if i were you i wud keep using it on petrol considering very high engine replacements costs etc, and if inevitable ten sell it n buy a fuel economical car.

and if budget friendly then find a khyber or alto in good condition in use it with lpg as fuel till recession, fuel infation settles

fuel infation settles

I doubt that...

just some updates from people whom i have met. My uncle and my father in law both have installed LPG in their cars (Margalla and City 2002) using their CNG cylinders. Margalla initially met with some acceleration related problems and City suffers from some self related problems. After visiting the mechanic 2,3 times, my uncle is now satisfied with his Margalla. I am yet to ask them about fuel mileage.

Sirrr... going a bit off topic but .... LPG is not a good solution for kitchen. A brotherly advise: Get a westpoint induction cooker. will cost probably 14k and you will need specific utensils costing 8-10k. The induction system is i) safe, ii) cost effective iii) easier to cook, and iv) saves time. Just to give an example. It takes 4,5 mins to prepare tea on induction vs. 10,12 mins on an LPG cylinder.

Now towards the costing part: There are various levels you can operate the machine on. But assuming an average 1200W level, and operating it for 4 hours daily, you will end up consuming 4.5units daily and 135 units monthly. At rs50/unit electricity (after accounting for additional charges and taxes), your monthly bill would be hardly 6,750. Thats apparently the max you would be billed. If you use the machine efficiently, you can reduce the bill to even 4-5k per month.
