Choosing a Reliable Installer — Checklist

8 things to verify before you hand over your car for CNG or LPG conversion in Bangladesh.

1

Government Approval

Verify the installer is Petrobangla or Explosives Department licensed. Ask to see the physical approval certificate.

2

Authorized Brand Dealer

Confirm they are an authorized dealer or installer for the specific kit brand being installed — not a gray-market reseller.

3

Leak Testing Post-Install

Insist on a full leak test using approved gas detection equipment immediately after installation before taking the vehicle home.

4

Written Warranty

Ensure a signed warranty covers both parts and labor for a minimum of 12 months, with the cylinder warranty separately documented.

5

Cylinder Certification Stamp

Check that the cylinder carries a valid BSTI or ECE R67/R110 certification stamp with the manufacture date visible.

6

Sequential Kit for Modern Cars

If your vehicle is 2000 or newer with EFI or VVT-i, insist on a Sequential kit. Never accept a traditional kit for a modern engine.

7

After-Sales Service Network

Confirm the workshop can service the system, replace injectors, update ECU software, and handle post-installation tuning.

8

Hydrostatic Test History

For secondhand vehicles, request the cylinder's hydrostatic test records. Cylinders must be tested every 5 years by law.

This checklist is for guidance only. Always verify your installer's credentials directly with Petrobangla or the Bangladesh Explosives Department before proceeding.

Traditional vs. Sequential Gas Kits

Understanding the mechanical difference between older carburetor gas setups and modern multi-port injector gas systems.

Technical FeatureTraditional (Venturi / Mixer)Sequential Injection System
Operation ModeGas is manually mixed with air in a venturi chamber before entering the intake.Gas is micro-metered and sprayed directly at each cylinder valve by computerized injectors.
ECU IntegrationNone. Fully mechanical regulation of gas flow.Integrated. Emulates gasoline injectors based on car's native engine computer readings.
Engine CompatibilityOlder Carburetor or basic EFI engines (Pre-2000 models).Modern EFI, VVT-i, Dual VVT-i, and multi-valve engines.
Performance Drop12% – 18% power loss; sluggish throttle response.Only 3% – 5% power loss; acceleration feels identical to octane.
Backfire RiskHigh. Air-gas mixture in manifold can combust, damaging plastic air filters.None. No gas mixture stays in the intake manifold.
Fuel EfficiencyLower. Manual adjustment leads to fuel wastage.Maximum. Precisely metered delivery prevents gas waste.
Estimated Pricing (BD)৳35,000 – ৳45,000 (Cheaper)৳50,000 – ৳65,000 (More expensive, but pays back in fuel/engine health)

Which Gas Kit Should You Choose?

Engine Technology Rules

  • Toyota VVT-i & Dual VVT-i Engines: You must choose a **Sequential Injection System**. Traditional kits will trigger the "Check Engine" light, cause immediate engine knocking, damage your ignition coils, and result in terrible acceleration.
  • Older Carburetor Cars: For old vehicles (e.g. Corolla EE90/EE100 carburetor engines), a **Traditional Venturi System** is highly cost-effective and runs perfectly fine since there are no electronic computers to calibrate.
  • Aluminum Intake Manifolds: Sequential kits are mandatory for cars with plastic intake manifolds to avoid backfire pressure cracking the manifold chamber.

Driving Habits & Payback Rules

  • Daily Run > 40 km: Highly recommended to convert. With current octane prices in Bangladesh, converting to LPG sequential will pay back the entire investment within 10-12 months.
  • Daily Run < 15 km: Do not convert. The fuel savings will take years to recover the upfront conversion cost, and gasoline engines need regular operational running to prevent valve seizing.
  • Long Distance Inter-District travel: **LPG** is preferred over CNG due to lighter cylinders (retains suspension life) and the availability of 700+ LPG filling stations across national highways.

Conversion Maintenance & Safety Tips

Regular Tuning & Calibrations

Unlike traditional setups, sequential kits use laptop diagnostics to map fuel curves. Visit your workshop every 5,000 km to clean the gas injector filter and recalibrate the ECU software map.

Ignition & Spark Plug Care

Gas has a higher ignition temperature than petrol. Use high-conductivity iridium spark plugs and check ignition coils regularly. A weak spark will immediately trigger misfires and sluggish gas running.

Safety retesting laws

Under Bangladesh Explosives Department laws, every CNG/LPG steel cylinder must undergo hydro-testing every 5 years. Never use expired or uncertified cylinders, as high pressure (~200 bar for CNG) poses severe safety risks.
