You guys Will just come online and be disgracing yourself up and down


Why calling someone trying to make ends meet thief


Has he stolen anything from you?


Your type should even be ignored

If you like, go and be following marketing.

I have given you the energy values of both. Petrol is still cheaper than LPG. Unless petrol becomes 800 per litre. This is why LPG powered generator don't even fly in countries that have been buying petrol more expensive than Nigeria even before the subsidy was removed

The reason for the hard start and waiting for a minute could be as a result of the length of your hose or the condition of your spark plug. Mine come up at one start.

On your roadside purchase and air inside cylinder, there's nothing like "air" inside cylinder. Just ensure you know the empty weight of your cylinder and final weight after refilling. There's nothing like filling "air" inside cylinder because air has no significant weight in this context

What if I mistakenly on the gen when both the petrol supply is open and the gas is on, will the gen explode?

Nigeria flares billions of cubic feet of gas every year. We have it in almost limitless supply, and we are not importing it. The price should even be coming down as we do more utilization of what is being flared.

CNG vs LPG

CNG is an abbreviation of “Compressed Natural Gas” whereas LPG is an abbreviation of “Liquefied Petroleum Gas”. The primary difference between CNG and LPG lies in the components that make up these fuels. While CNG is primarily made up of Methane, LPG is primarily made up of propane (and Butane).

CNG is cheaper and safer than LPG! But LPG produces more energy than CNG!

AGO - Automotive Gas Oil aka Diesel!
PMS - Premium Motor Spirit aka Gasoline/Petrol!
DPK - Dual Purpose Kerosene!

Point of correction sir. When you buy a new cylinder, take it to a gas station. The first question they will ask you is if it is a new cylinder. If it is, they will use a spanner or screw driver to push in the valve so the residual vapour in the LPG cylinder will go out. The inside of a cylinder is not a vacuum. The vapour pressure has to rise via increase in temperature, and when the vapour pressure is higher than atmospheric pressure, the gas comes out. When this pressure equalizes, then the gas no longer comes out and is regarded as "empty."

If you patronize roadside dealers who fill a smaller cylinder from the 50kg one they have to put at a height so that gravity ensures one-way flow, occasionally they have to stop and push in the valve to let the residual vapour out.

LPG is 85% liquid. The rest is the vapour. The gas never gets exhausted 100%. Filling your cylinder in a station gets the percentage of liquid up. Using roadside dealers will raise the level of vapour. This will mean you have to occasionally shift your cylinder around when using it with a generator.

I speak from experience.

Now you're talking in technical terms. You used the word "air" in your first post I quoted now you used the right term "vapour", actually pressurised vapour. What you have in new cylinders is compressed air from the factory which helps to ascertain the state of the cylinder, if it is leaking or not at the point of purchase of the cylinder. At that state, the cylinder is pressurised and gas can't be refilled in the cylinder until it is depressurised by opening the valve with a screwdriver or any other appropriate tool. If you weigh the pressurised new cylinder and compare it with it's weight after depressurising, the difference in weight is less than 0.1kg.

The difference between the gas station and the road side is that the gas station uses a pump which helps to pressurise the gas into the cylinder at a higher pressure than the pressure building up in the cylinder during the process of refilling and at a faster rate. The road side refiller relies on the natural pressure of the gas inside his bigger, and not necessarily gravity, to refill the smaller cylinders. It gets to a point when the pressure inside the smaller cylinder equalises with that of the bigger cylinder and the flow of gas will stop. He then depressurised the smaller cylinder with an appropriate tool and the continue refilling. What matters most is the quantity and weight of the liquified gas inside the cylinder and not the pressure. And the best way to determine that is through a weighing scale.

I don't understand what you mean by shifting your cylinder around. If your low pressure regulator and the carburettor is working fine, you don't need to shift your cylinder around whether you refill from roadside or gas plant.

I refill from both roadside and plants, my main target is for my final cylinder weight to tally with the quantity of gas I'm paying for.

LPG is has very low density, hence the calculation we have is 1kg of LPG contains 20.7megajoules of energy.
PMS is denser hence produced more energy per KG than LPG.

1 litre of PMS produces 31.5 megajoules of energy.

1 litre of fuel is 500
1kg of LPG is 550.
Fuel is still cheaper unless you have an explanation for energy efficiency with LPG cuberator.

28 kg when full, 15kg when "empty". As you said, you need to weigh the cylinder before and after to know how much to buy if filling it, so you not only get what you are paying for, but you don't end up with an over-pressurized cylinder.
