New Delhi. Toyota Fortuner is a famous SUV in the Indian market and is the most liked and wanting full size SUV in the market here. Fortuner is a strong SUV that is considered comfortable, durable and trusted among Indian customers. Our Indian government is planning to ban diesel engine, and most Fortuner is purchased with diesel engine. Petrol engine is not very popular. Apart from diesel and petrol, there are other options like CNG and LPG. Recently we saw a Fortuner in Vadodara in which CNG kit was installed, which gives better mileage and less running cost. Now, we have a Fortuner who does not use CNG or petrol/diesel but runs from LPG. Come about this unique Fortuner.
LPG Fortuner
In Thailand, Hongtong Gas is a gas distributing company that has specialty to install LPG kits in vehicles. He has worked on many vehicles and has installed LPG kit so that great mileage will continue to get great performance. Hongtong gas uses the prince brand kit, which is one of the early and best manufacturers of the LPG kit. He installed LPG kit in a Toyota Fortuner 2.7 liter petrol model.
Better performance
The Prince Gas Kit is compatible with several petrol cars, making it easy for Hongtong to fit it. To maintain the practicality of the boot, he put a donut-shaped LPG cylinder in the spare-wheel slot to save the space. Hongtong Gas claims that there is no change in performance, but driving experience becomes even more smooth. In addition, you get better acceleration and more money saving. In India, LPG is quite easily available and is a better option of petrol or diesel. Fortuner LPG is a good idea, because if it works, it will be a practical option. Toyota Fortuner is one of the best SUVs available in India, and if we are able to fit LPG in this SUV, it will also reduce the cost of running the vehicle.
