"Hey rachna, 1. sad part is the dealer will charge more for the same kit as will give verbal warranty only. there you can do nothing about it. AS the warranty is given by manufacturer and not the dealer so he can give only verbal warranty 2. He should not charge 40% extra , i have got it fit form the dealer market charges between 30-35 K and dealer charged me 40 k 3. now a days these are imported engines hence it will not adversely affect the car 4. Pick up will get affected and driving pleasure u cant compare with petrol. but hey if u use hte car for 4 years u will save enough on fuel for you to buy a new i10 m sure" - Amit Desai

"Hello Neeraj, In a small car sequential kits are not required but yeah they are always better than normal open loop kits for rest of your questions please go through the article and comments here Amit" - Amit Desai

"1. open loop as its cheaper but requires regular tuning 2. 30-35k 3. any good garage in your area will be ok there is no rocket science in fitting the kit 4. i would strongly suggest , go for a vagon R company fitter CNG, as since your car is old and now if you put cng i think it would not be a good option. your will surely save a lot of money in petrol but eventually the car will give up" - Amit Desai

"Hello Rao, Read all the comments and the article u will get your answer in detail. To answer quickly yes its the right time to convert and nothing is going to happen to your engine life. yes warranty will get void if you get it done form outside and get it done by authorized center like sai service nad they will let u preserve your warranty Amit" - Amit Desai

"I am glad you found the article useful" - Amit Desai

"I havent seen maintenance cost increase in last 10 months. Regular tuning is required say once every 4 months if you are using the normal open loop kits. i have a petrol dezire and i have installed it and loving it." - Amit Desai

"Hello Pankaj, Thanks so much for sharing this post. It will surely help people who are willing to install CNG. Pick surely drops but its ok lets make this planet pollution free.. ;-) and save loads of money for us Amit" - Amit Desai

"lovato and longas is good" - Amit Desai

"Hello Pranav, All what i have written in the article is applicable to Honda Accord. I would suggest you install a sequential kit as you have a bigger car. There are no adverse effect on engine as these are imported kits and everyday if you drive 2 kms on petrol first nad then move to CNG and also after every 1000 kms on cng drive 10 kms on petrol it will never cause any problem to the engine. Amit" - Amit Desai

"thanks fro sharing your positive feedback with people here" - Amit Desai

"You dont have to put sequential and i dont know about zaoil but in the article above i have mentioned RTO approved CNG kits" - Amit Desai

"if you can afford it sequential is best if not open loop also works perfect, just that it requires manual tuning at regular intervals say 6 months" - Amit Desai

"Hello Abhijeet, I am really glad this information helped you take a decision. I am sure its the right decision and i have a friend who has got a normal kit installed in honda city and its just working fine. the pick up surely drops but hardly 10%-15% and in city traffic u wont feel the difference unless you want to race with every second driver u see on the road ;-) Thanks for contributing to the environment." - Amit Desai

"I am sorry Mohan i only have list of RTO approved vendors in Mumbai but most probably it will be approved in Pune as well" - Amit Desai

"Hello Paresh, I am glad the information has helped. and remember you are making this planet a better place to live as CNG does pollute the environment and since we are not using petrol / disel it also adds to overall saving in the economy. Cheers Amit Desai" - Amit Desai

"CNG is better but if you cannot get CNG in jaipur easily then no point going for CNG. You should go for LPG only thing is CNG is more safe, cheaper and dosent damage the engine if these newer imported kits from italy are installed. Only if you can identify few places closer to your home or work from where u can regularly refill CNG then i would suggest go for CNG." - Amit Desai

"I would suggest for go BRC as i havent heard of Prins. what you should do to ensure everything is genuine is to get the guy to open the kit box in front of you so that you can inspect all part of the kits. most people who are fraud use the core part as original and use other stuff which are indian made. so when you see it unpack you will be able to ensure that all the parts are genuine. Also ask for safety valves which will stop the low of gas in case of accident. along with power booster which will help solve the pick up issue when you turn to gas." - Amit Desai

"i would not know anything about orrisa. but go for CNG and not LPG." - Amit Desai

"i am going to come up with a post that exactly explains the same in a day or two .. please stay tuned" - Amit Desai

"AJay, Since your car is under warranty, i would really recommend that be very sure before installing the CNG kit. as things covered under company warranty are very very expensive. Having said that most card run very well untill the warranty period and lets assume a scenario that you run the car for 2 years before something major goes wrong. untill then you would have saved enough by using CNG instead of petrol. All the kits mentioned in the article above are RTO approved and you can install anyone of them Amit" - Amit Desai

"Hello Ranjit, I am really sorry i would not know of any good vendor in Pune i can only suggest you go to a authorized maruti services center and they will do it for you. Maybe someone else can suggest here ? guys good dealers in Pune for CNG ??" - Amit Desai

"sequentials are better but generally used for bigger cars" - Amit Desai

"1. yes i mean normal kits are ok 2. If he is authorized maruti service center then go ahead with any kits they install, just check if they are authorized by RTO in Delhi 3. lets assume even if it reduces the price by 50k. you will still save much more than that if you intend to use the car for couple of years. 4. I feel the value will increase with the rising fuel costs people would want to buy a second hand car which already comes with CNG" - Amit Desai

"Hello Vijay, For a swift the standard kit is not going to make any difference. Sequential kits are better but they are mainly used to higher power cars. Also your car is already 6 years old. If you double the cost of CNG you will take double the time to reap its benefits. I dont think you would want to spend 1 year just to break even the CNG cost. I am sorry i would not know of any good place in delhi." - Amit Desai

"engine life remains to be seen, but i surely feel it will be lesser as compared to pure petrol car. The performance is good after installing CNG in city driving there is not much difference" - Amit Desai

"Asnwers: 1) Sequential kits are better in terms of mileage and pick up as compared to closed loops 2) AC is no problems. i have been using it for 8 months or so and havent spent single rupee towards maintenance of CNG 3) i have installed Lovato, read the list in the article they are all RTO approved and all are same 4) I have got it fitted from Sai Service Andheri they are expensive then the rest by 7-8k" - Amit Desai

"i am sorry i would not know a good vendor in pune" - Amit Desai

"Hello Anil, Thats a striking research and i am sure this will help a lot of people like us being taken for a ride because of our ignorance. If the place that you are talking about is in mahakali caves andheri east then its the one from which Sai Service gets the fitting done. Even i reached these guys before fitting but then later on i decided that though Sai Service is charging 40 k as compared to 30 k that these guys charge who are doing installation for sai service vehicles i am still going to get it done by Sai Service. The result. They opened a sealed box in front of me before installation also they the same kit was installed using high tech equipments at SAi Service and not by hand. to me that itself makes a big difference. And at the end of the day its Sai Service's guarantee. There was some noise in my CNG system after first two months, they replaced complete kit an yeah yet again i checked that its a new kit. So though sai service uses kits imported by that guy and uses their..." - Amit Desai

"Anil longas is good i have installed the same and its giving me very good performance. Yes there is a link in the article as to where all you can get CNG" - Amit Desai
