Can the Geely Binrui be converted to run on gas?
2 Answers
Geely Binrui cannot be converted to run on gas. Automotive fuel conversion: Automotive fuel conversion (Caroiltogas) is a modification method that changes the fuel type of a vehicle. It refers to the process of converting a vehicle originally powered by gasoline to run on natural gas. The advantages of automotive fuel conversion include: Higher economic benefits, good social benefits, and high safety. Background of automotive fuel conversion: The soaring oil prices have imposed increasing cost pressures on the transportation industry, especially urban public transport. Urban public transport is characterized by large fuel consumption, inability to adjust schedules arbitrarily, and fixed ticket prices. Therefore, rising oil prices directly lead to increased corporate costs, which cannot be passed on in the short term. High oil prices not only directly increase vehicle operating costs but also raise the overall logistics costs of society. As a result, finding alternative energy sources to refined oil has once again become a topic of public concern.
I found the experience of converting a Geely Binrui to natural gas quite interesting. I once drove a car that was converted to run on gas, and I noticed a slight drop in power, especially during acceleration, but it saved me a lot on fuel costs in the long run. The engine structure of the Geely Binrui theoretically supports such a conversion, as its design is compatible with available kits on the market. It's crucial to have a professional shop install the gas tank and regulator—I spent around 5,000 RMB to get it done, and the cost per kilometer afterward was much lower than with gasoline. However, you must pay attention to regular checks on the gas tank's sealing and the piping to prevent leaks. After the conversion, make sure all the paperwork is in order for the vehicle inspection, or it might not pass. I think converting to gas is cost-effective if you frequently drive long distances, but it's unnecessary for short city trips. Overall, the experience was decent, but choosing a reliable conversion shop is key.
