Hi guys, I'm from the company that is referred to in the News
Article - C. Melchers.
Just wanted to clarify a few things:
1) The loss is UP TO 10%. The amount of loss depends on how well
your car is tuned after the installation. We have a standard tuning
program for all cars, but since each car is unique in its own way,
there might be more or less loss of power. Seriously though, with a
normal car even 10% is not much unless you like to be first off the
mark at the lights and you might feel a bit of loss of power during
hill climbs.
2) The stations. Three stations will be running by the end of this
year
- Toh Tuck Ave (big parcel of land just before the PIE ramp heading
towards Tuas). Its bordered on one side by Toh Tuck Ave, other side
is Toh Guan Rd East.
- Mandai Road (Near the old Shell station)
- Serangoon Rd Nth Ave 5
The two equipment for the stations in Mandai and Serangoon have
already been purchased and are on their way. However these stations
are called 'daughter stations' and rely on a 'mother station' to
transport the gas to their location. The 'mother station' is the
one in Toh Tuck.
The station in Toh Tuck is huge and tender for the construction for
it has just closed - we know, since we took part in it. The station
MUST be completed by the end of the year.
So this should qualm some of the worries people have about "IF
EVER".
3) The filling up of the cars depends very much on the compressors
used at the station. If you size your compressors correctly, the
filling up time is about 1 1/2 minutes for a car and about 3
minutes for a bus.
I won't talk much more about it here since I don't think it's
appropriate for me to talk about the conversion kit too much since
I would be "marketing" it. If you are interested more, have a look
at the website www.cng.com.sg and you can email your queries
there.
Rgds, Gilbert
