My CNG conversion

[Fortress]

Any recommendation on the type of lub oil used.

[Genie47]

Use your regular lube. That is what the BITOGers say. No need thick lube or anything. The lube will look very clean but cannot be deceived by it because chemically and physically, it will be degraded. Same change interval.

[Fortress]

Understand that you are the expert on lub oil here, doesn't the higher temp affects the lub and the engine performance.

but but but.. ssangyong vehicles are hideous

 

and their capacity are huge, don't wanna pay so much blood for road tax.

 

how about an rx8 running on cng

[Genie47]

The lube must be of good quality. That is all. So I just follow regular change intervals with regular oil. Maybe at least Group II+ to Group III formulated.

[Genie47]

You got to ask them. If they can convert, they will proudly show it off in the next Motorshow. Maybe pay you handsomely for it too!

[Clubace]

So you got 2 tanks in your boot?

 

1 is CNG tank and the other is a 60L water tank??

[Genie47]

No lah! The gas cylinder is 60L water capacity. It holds 10kg of compressed gas.

 

My boot space is 400L capacity so theoretically speaking, I now left with 340L capacity.

[Cyberet]

oh ya, any tax rebates for CNG converted cars?

[Genie47]

No. If your car is green to begin with when you buy from AD, got rebates. If not green but become half green later, no rebates. Just save marnee from cheaper fuel lah.

 

But I am hopeful. Melchers has changed my car's VITAS. LTA knows this is a a half green car. In MY, half green cars get 3/4 road tax. Full green cars get 1/2 road tax.

lets hope

can the public access the CNG station on tuas?

seems like there is some sort of timing restriction

[Dlar2]

Any idea when Mandai CNG station would be up?

Any why don't you install 2 tanks of 60L each so that it makes your trip to JB even more worth while? What is the limitations?

[Robin]

no space left in the boot?

[Genie47]

They have but must apply for pass. If whole family in car how? Everyone in the family must have pass?

 

I rather pump in JB until the Mandai station comes up.

[Genie47]

Like than must buy Thule system to put things on top of car roof already.

 

Actually intend to get but not needed now.

[Genie47]

Mandai station supposed to be up between Oct-Dec this year. I know, damn slow.

[Dlar2]

I was wondering how much a second tank would cost....

[Genie47]

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.
