You don't need. Just let it run out. Use petrol. See if your car reaches 3/4 full by how many km. Can't be less than 200km. 100km a day = 10kg CNG 2 days and petrol 2 days = 4 days. No need 3 days.

3/4 currently if i use stuff the turkey method is about 200km.

 

hmm... about 400km, more if i drive with a light foot.

 

Converted cars fitted with a 70-litre pressure vessel have the following average range:

I did an enquiry on doing a cng conversion for the rx-8. apparently, they (melchers) said that it was not available. But, it was some months ago. I posted a query on the local rx8club forum, but got gunned down..... for trying to save petrol on a performance car. [:|]

 

Anyway, I suppose it may be available. Gas is definitely cheaper, even if drive turbo car. On the other hand, why not consider cng on a wrx or legacy gt? [sly] Can drive without "remorse". [:p]

wait till petrol hits over $2 per litre, then we'll see how light footed they'll get [sly]

 

drive without remorse and step all you want [bounce2]

 

ya..a FI car would be able to make use of the 120ron even better.. don't tempt me, must resist... [laugh]

the 3.4k can be recouped in a matter of time.. imagine.. drive using gas until no more gas. then use the fuel tank to drive to jb to top up! I think your bill can easily drop to a quarter.

 

wanted to do the conversion..

BUT

 

 

have you considered the warranty? mazda said they will void my warranty if i convert.. This is a big NONO.. After warranty expires, why not?

They might think u r a terrorist .... 3 tanks of CNG sweatdrop.gifsweatdrop.gifsweatdrop.gif

 

They are bringing the smaller cylinder for undercarriage mounting. If can, I will mount second or third tank undercarriage. Problem is they dunno LTA's reaction. laugh.gif

i have a better idea, just buy the CNG tank and use it to pump in 60L of petrol in JB. can save some $ also. What u guys think? [idea]

Interesting. My car is 1.4L just like Fabia but DOHC compared to Fabia's SOHC. 200km is possible then!
