Why LPG?
• Worldwide success
• Cheaper fuel than gasoline
• Much cleaner fuel than either diesel or gasoline
• LPG is widely available now
• Distribution is already established
Financial Benefits
Less maintenance costs
• Cleaner engine due to absence of contaminants like lead, sulfur, metals, aromatics,
• No deposition of carbon on spark plugs
• Smoother combustion since LPG is gaseous
• Improved engine oil life
Lower Overating Cost
• LPG is cleaner than gasoline (or petrol)
• Payback of less than 2 years after initial investment of conversion
• Since its is a clean fuel in itself, the combustion is also much cleaner. LPG contains propane and butane Lower which are smaller hydrocarbons. It is easier to burn in a normal gasoline engine because you have the Lower injectors to atomize the fuel. Since LPG is already a gas, it burns more quickly.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
| 1. I heard that LPG kits are all the same. Is that true? |
| • |
Definitely not. For an LPG system to be classified as high-quality standard, 3 criteria have to be passed. These are Quality of components, Proper Installation and Perfect Tuning. Our company fulfills all these criteria.
|
| • |
We were the first company in the Philippines that has installed and tuned True-Multipoint Sequential LPG injection kits for Big and Small engine vehicles which complies with EURO 4 emission standards. These kits are extremely superior in terms of capability. |
| 2. What is the mileage for LPG fuel system and is there a difference in power output? |
| • |
For a carburetor system, it is about 5-15% less mileage than gasoline. Power output for the carbureted vehicles is also about 20% less than petrol-powered cars. However, for sequential systems, the mileage is about 0-10% less and power output is the same, provided the vehicle is tuned properly. The decrease in mileage will depend on the engine condition and driving style. |
| 3. Is it safe? |
| • |
Tartarini kits of Italy have the passed the highest European Autogas safety standards (67R-01) and are homologated by the Ministry of Transport according to European standards. |
| • |
Our tanks are 4mm thick and subjected to pressures of 900psi during homologation testing. |
| • |
Tanks and multivalves are filled to 80% with LPG and subjected to Bonfire testing for 20 minutes. |
| • |
Cut off valves when excess pressure or excess temperature is detected such as the Pressure Relief valve, Thermofuse and Excess Flow valve. |
| 4. What are the benefits of using LPG? |
| • |
The price of LPG is about 40% cheaper than gasoline price. |
| • |
Reduces air pollution in the metropolis as LPG burns cleaner and safer than gasoline. |
| 5. Can you install it on old and new cars? |
| • |
We can install it on any gasoline-fed engine provided that the engine is in good condition and well maintained. It takes 1-7 days to install our kits ( for carbureted cars we can do it in 1 day). |
| 6. How big is the tank? |
| • |
The size of our tanks range from 30L to 90L for cylindrical tanks. We also have donut-shaped
tanks (toroidal) which can fit in the spare tire well of the car. The cylindrical tanks will take
up about 25-35% of your trunk space. |

| • |
For SGI systems, it will automatically switch back to gasoline when LPG runs out. |
| 9. What is the warranty? |
| • |
One (1) year from the date of installation excluding consumable parts like filters, o-rings, etc. |
