2) The price being
quoted by them appears high - may be coz of all Imports. The approved
indigenous ones such as Leader Autogas etc may be substantially cheaper.
3) The price diff
between a Kit for mpfi may be + 5k or so a/a Carb Cars and unless got
done through the OE-Dealer, will definitely render one's Warranty a-void,
closely followed by the Insurance Policy in the event of a serious mishap
of any kind.
4) The payback period
for such Kits for an average Motorist is 1 to 2 yrs and that itself is
a serious drawback - besides restricting one to the Metro limits only.
The added disadvantage with LPG is that one has to cold start on petrol
and then sw over to LPG - once the engine warms up to at least the 'C'
mark. So one is likely to be consuming ~ one lr of Petrol a day in any
case too!
5) Even with the so-called Certified Kits, the Suppliers often short-change
gullible Buyers of the Auto-Ign Timing Controller - which itself costs
~ Rs: 1k to replace. Without this, ur car will never run satisfactorily
in either mode - as what these Johnnies do is to leave the static I/T
somewhere between the optimum for LPG and Petrol - so that it doesn't
knock excessively on Petrol.
