Tanjkp Clutched February 21, 2008 Share February 21, 2008 Upfront discount off new car price of 40%*OMV. After 10 Years, you get 20%*OMV less in paper. (normal car parf = 55%omv, cng parf = 35%omv) If you own the car for 10 years, effective savings is 20%*OMV. No, it is not saving of 20%, it is get back 20% less in PARF (scrap) value. So you must be able to save more than that 20% in $$ to gain back in 10 years to make it worth. But from the present CNG consumption, it is a savings.... Just hope that the CNG retail $$ don go up or Govt don slap some Tax on it !! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokens Neutral Newbie February 21, 2008 Share February 21, 2008 anyway do you think it's possible to install cng on a small cc car? like a honda fit? fit's only 1339cc, and i'm wondering if the weight of cng would override any possible savings on such a fuel efficient car (fc about 15km/l).

Dirtrider_ak Neutral Newbie February 21, 2008 Share February 21, 2008 You can and have smaller tanks. I do not see y not. If a motor bike around 125~200 cc can install one why not a small car? But normally it makes more sense for a bigger car because the alternative fuel is already cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokens Neutral Newbie February 22, 2008 Share February 22, 2008 hmm, but if i want to get the green rebate, i need a minimum of a 50l tank. a 55l tank seems to weigh around 60kg or more, so would this offset the cost of using cng? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtrider_ak Neutral Newbie February 22, 2008 Share February 22, 2008 seriously I have no idea until someone tries it and post it in the forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perrier 1st Gear February 22, 2008 Share February 22, 2008 That me. Have not got the car yet though... To answer a previous question, if the car can't even handle an additional 70kg, they should remove the back seats as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokens Neutral Newbie February 22, 2008 Share February 22, 2008 is there any pointers to take note of when servicing cng? i keep reading that you re-gap the spark plugs to reduce engine misfire. will re-gapping help to increase gas burning too? any other things that can help?

Genie47 1st Gear February 23, 2008 Author Share February 23, 2008 Having a smaller gap enables the spark plug to fire easier and reduce the stress on your ignition system. In a way, it also helps to burn the gas. The new Japanese cars with their coil-on-plug systems are extremely powerful. Maybe you don't need to reduce the gap at all for them. But for other cars, it is a must. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokens Neutral Newbie February 24, 2008 Share February 24, 2008 erm, so how do i determine if i need to re-gap my spark plug? pardon the noob question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear February 25, 2008 Author Share February 25, 2008 You need a spark plug gauge. Your mechanic can do it for you. Most cars now come with a gap of 1.1mm. You need to reduce it to 0.9mm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelpie 2nd Gear February 25, 2008 Share February 25, 2008 hmm, but if i want to get the green rebate, i need a minimum of a 50l tank. a 55l tank seems to weigh around 60kg or more, so would this offset the cost of using cng? 60 kg is an empty tank or what?
