Hi Dhanan

If you want to install an LPG on a Palio, there is reason for buying a new car as the warranty may become void if you install the kit on a new car.

I got lpg kit installed on my Siena 1.2 (now sold). There was no drop in power but the engine was smoother when run on petrol. The mileage was 10% lesser than the mileage i got on petrol. One problem is i noticed is that the hose that connects from air filter to FI system got squeezed and service engineer found the fault with LPG kit. He mentioned that it's common with Fiats fitted with LPG kits. Anuroop, fiat dealer in Hyd also installs kits in Fiat cars. They use Minda kits.

I installed BRC kit from outside in Hyderabad. The installation was very good with no hint of gas smell etc to the passengers. Sadly my installor is no more alive. It costed me 21K without RTA fee. The intaller was a close friend to a fellow tbhp member and i got some discount.
