Why LPG? Is there significant difference in mileage?

There will be no mileage difference, the only Saving will be the difference in the price of lpg and petrol.

P. S I think there will be no loss of power on lpg as compared to petrol.

well actually lpg is much much better fuel alternative then cng, as lpg is a bi product of oil so it does not harm the engine the way cng does, even the performance of the car is excellent on lpg same as of petrol, u cant tell the difference while driving. i think you should give it a try, i see lot of expensive cars on hascol filling station...

Bro, its no use of converting it into LPG as from the definition LPG Low Pressure Gas which is more dangerous then the CNG. The pressure required for combustion is way to low as compared to CNG & petrol. When u fire up ur engine on Petrol, a vacuum is created inside the fuel tank which causes a subsequent flow of fuel which i controlled & increased by the fuel pump installed as per requirement. But for the case of LPG the cylinder must be strong enough to hold the pressure & secondly, the flow required should meet the piston movement to allow proper combustion * exhaust at the same time. This is not possible for LPG thats why its better in 2 stroke engines.

LPG = Liquefied Petroleum Gas - It is Propane. CNG is Methane.
LPG is much more safer than petrol. Used widely in Europe in all typea of cars.

IMO- LPG is a great fuel. Very long range and nice cylinders which can fit in spare wheel space. The proper EFI kit with injectors etc cost about 75k from hascol. Per/Liter price at the moment is around 56 rupees and mileage on LPG is 10-15% lower than petrol. Like CNG it is also a dry fuel and burns hotter than petrol. I think it should be installed with a valve lube solution.

I have seen a land rover & Parado converted to LPG from Hascol. Its my regular refueling and service station.

Yes u r right about Europe. just wanted to add on ur finding.
CNG is Compressed Natural Gas, which is mainly methane compressed at a pressure of 200 to 248 bars. LPG is Liquefied Petroleum Gas, a mixture of propane and butane liquefied at 15 ?C and a pressure of 1.7 - 7.5 bar. Some variants of LPG are primarily propane so LPG is often colloquially called propane. CNG is cheaper and cleaner, but LPG has a higher calorific value. Distribution is easier for natural gas over long distances via pipelines.

All Major Vehicle Manufacturers will exclude any damage to engines caused by the installation ofLPG, including Valve Seat Recession and Burnt Valves under their new car warranty. All Warranties sold with LPG Conversions do not cover Valve Seat Recession or Burnt valves. Check before buying. All After Market Warranties specifically exclude Valve Seat Recession and burnt valves. Check before buying.
All LPG Importers and Suppliers will not pay for damage to engines caused by the fitting of their LPG Equipment

Would you prefer fire over one big blast of cng cylinder? LPG leakage can be easily detected if a person is equipped with a nose of reasonable sensitivity.

For valve seats, one must install the flshlube solution. The resorvior is fitted in under the hood with liquid that keeps the valves well lubricated.

Disclaimer : I have no experience of LPG. Never installed it any of my cars. My comments are based on research/
