Re: CNG Discussion Thread
Hi All,
Can you please tell me which CNG KIT would be good for my 'Zen Estilo Lxi 2010'.
How much it will cost (approx.)?
What will be performance impact & which dealer will be good for installing it?
I've read on this same there are various type of CNG Kit such as open/closed/mpfi/sequential.
What is diffrence between them & which one will good for my car.
My daily running is around 60 KM & once a month I travel around 400KM on highways.
progtester welcome to TAI forum, i would suggest you sequential kit for your Zen Estilo which may cost you around 45-55K range depending upon the brand and fitment center you select for installation, also you will feel slight power drop in CNG mode which is quite negligible when compare to your saving while running on CNG though you will find nominal increase in maintenance cost of car also you may end up driving more due to low cost fuel.
Fuel running cost of CNG will come around Rs. 1.5 to 2 per km depending upon the traffic and individual driving habits.
I recommend you to install CNG kit from the authorized fitment center list of centers are available on transport department website of respective states for authorized CNG fitment center list in Delhi click

Comparing a sequential kit to a regular one is like comparing a MPFI engine technology to carburetor one regular kits just supply gas into the intake manifold whereas sequential kits supply gas separately to each cylinder in measured amounts.
You have to make decision based on your budget both kits will run fine on your car though nowadays most of the newer engines run better on sequential kits.
I hope this helps you, wishing you many happy miles on CNG revert back to me if you have any more queries.
