    the company name will be said to you as soon as we have completed our requirements have been done.definitly,we will open up second week of september,in makati.we will be carrying two brands of lpg kits one is the japanese and the other is a italian brand.yes we will have the state of the art equipments to carry out all service requirements to tune your engine both in lpg and gasoline.our kits will be very competitive in the market and we will also have kits for turbocharger/supercharger and for twin weber carburator aside from the e.f.i.and carburator kits.dyno tuning will be one of the equipments that we will be having.i do not believe in not using equipments in tuning your engine in lpg or even in gasoline,because you may not be able to get the right timing and the right performance from your engine.you cannot even maximize the full power and get the right fuel economy savings,if conversion companies do not have the right equipment to service/tune there lpg kits.
    to eveyone out there if you are going to convert your car to lpg,check out the shop converting lpg,if they have the right equipment and highly trained technician to do the job.do not allow your vehicles to be tampered by companies that do not know and just making it there business just to make money.check there background as much as possible,before you make the right decision where you will have your car converted.because once you have installed your vehicle and it does not perform the way you expected it to be,it will be very hard for you or for anyone to get back your moneys investment.don tbe decieved by companies offering and saying that theres is the best kits,look into the after sales service too,and check out the equipments if they do have them.

    my thanks to you guys.

    Topgun, what is your fuel consumption when using petrol?

    I know that it is normal to lose around 20% of your milage when using LPG. This is due to the fact that LPG has a lower energy content compared to petrol. http://www.boostlpg.co.uk/what_is/faq.htm#3 However, this is more than made up by the price difference between petrol and lpg.

    I just called Ambi Ent., it's P80,000 + 12%VAT to convert F150 to LPG (bi-fuel), too costly for me.

    I get average of 6.5 km/L on gasoline.
    I get 5.0km/L to 5.1 km/L on LPG. (based on my 3 tankfuls of LPG)

    Car is 1.6L efi A/T

    Typical driving for me:
    -usually 8am to 6pm (but not continuously!)
    -makati, cubao, san juan, mandaluyong areas
    -aircon always on
