Wise Decision!
BTW I have heard that once you convert to CNG; then your petrol mileage drops. Is it so?

No it is not like that, Petrol mileage will remain the same.

its nothing like that . actually once you start getting 17 with AC in CNG and then you get 11-12 with AC in petrol you start thinking petrol is giving less FE

He he now that's the reality

Update -

I have added Bardhal now 300 ml http://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/technical-zone/4937-best-engine-oil-additive.html
I can feel the difference in performance. The engine feels more smoother now.
Increase in pickup about 5% specially in 2nd and 3rd gear I can feel a lot difference.
Now My zen feels more like a petrol car.

Mileage - City - 20 kmpl with AC

That's a very good post.

I own a Chevrolet SRV 1.6 and planning to go for CNG. Advani Motors in Pune advised me to go for Sequential Kit and quoted 46k for Landi Renzo.

Please advise me if you think its a deal to go for. I don't mind spending extra, but want a well fitted kit
Thanks

@guruk : Check with Suraj auto agency also.Advanced kit costs 50k. They are authorized installers for Chevrolet.

Cover it with black cotton cloth.

Or add one more film layer at bottom of back windshield.
And try to avoid looking at your own back LOL

Thanks, but this will look ugly

Or add one more film layer at bottom of back windshield.

Even I thought the same.

Any better Idea ?

I have it but it was removed as the tank was fitted at more height. Sacrificed rear speakers also
