Product Review

Product reviewed

Maruti Omni with CNG kit — focusing on:

  • Fuel economy / mileage (CNG range)
  • Starting behavior in the morning
  • An observed CNG kit/pressure/capacity experience at a pump

Main features mentioned (CNG usage + setup)

  • The car is driven using a CNG kit with 4 points/hoses and a reserve/breathing-type element.
  • Auto-switching behavior: after starting, it can run on petrol first, then switch to CNG when conditions allow.
  • The owner mentions using petrol temporarily for starting, because CNG is less reliable when cold.

Key observations (mileage & cost)

  • Odometer reading: around 35,394 km (recorded at the time of review); car condition described as perfect.
  • CNG fill details:
    • Pressure mentioned: around 200 (unit not specified)
    • CNG fill capacity: ~9.2 kg
    • CNG cost: Rs. 595
    • Earlier (return trip), about 6.7 kg CNG had been taken.
  • Mileage / range claim:
    • After ~170 km driven, he estimates about 27–28 km/l (the subtitle wording is unclear on exact units, but the intent appears to be ~27–28 km per unit of CNG, with the unit not perfectly clear).
  • City/highway driving:
    • Claims approximately 27–28 km on the highway side.
    • Mentions “almost average speed in the city” but provides no exact city mileage figure.

User experience (starting & daily use)

Starting issues (cold mornings)

He emphasizes that CNG can cause problems in the morning due to:

  • Low temperature, making it difficult for the system/chamber (he references a process involving a choke chamber / piston explosion).
  • More vibration in cold conditions, which he warns can contribute to piston ring problems later.

Suggested approach from the video:

  • Start on petrol in the morning, then switch to CNG after warming up.
  • Guidance: run on petrol for about 56 km for warm-up.
  • He claims this helps you drive comfortably daily.

Pump experience / operational notes

  • He fills at a CNG pump and notes:
    • At that time, there was no line (pump seemed relatively empty).
    • He advises waiting/positioning the vehicle according to the pump’s instructions.
  • Petrol top-up:
    • He filled petrol (~Rs. 300) because the car had no petrol initially (needed to start).

Pros (as stated)

  • Good highway mileage: estimated ~27–28 km.
  • Works well when started correctly: starting on petrol first helps avoid cold CNG starting issues.
  • Stable setup/settings: CNG settings from an earlier trip (Baramati) are said to be unchanged and working fine.

Cons / issues mentioned

  • Cold morning behavior: CNG can be problematic due to low temperature.
  • Potential long-term mechanical concern: cold starts may increase vibration, possibly leading to piston ring issues over time.
  • An observed “tragedy/problem” at the start:
    • A moment where he shows only about “3–4 finger battery” thickness/space and says it needs to be checked immediately (exact part unclear due to subtitle errors).

Comparisons made with similar products

  • No direct comparison to other cars/CNG kits is provided.
  • Only a general mention of conventional vs sequential CNG kit, suggesting kit type can affect behavior, but no side-by-side results are stated.

Unique points mentioned (complete list)

  1. Odometer: 35,394 km; described as perfect condition.
  2. Mixed operation: switching from petrol to CNG during running.
  3. Initially had no petrol and no CNG, so petrol was filled first to start.
  4. CNG pump experience: little/no waiting; follow pump procedure.
  5. CNG fill results: ~9.2 kg, about Rs. 595, with a pressure reading around 200.
  6. Petrol top-up: Rs. 300 (also referenced confusingly via subtitles).
  7. Morning problem explanation: CNG cold-temperature starting difficulty (choke chamber/piston process mentioned).
  8. Concern: cold starts cause more vibration, risking piston ring issues later.
  9. Recommendation: start on petrol, run about 56 km on petrol for warm-up, then use CNG.
  10. Kit/container/parts description: 4 points plus a reserve element; later mentions names that sound like “bread seller” and “Gurjar seller” (likely subtitle mishearing).
  11. Earlier trip (Baramati to home): about 6.7 kg CNG used.
  12. Mileage estimate: for ~170 km, estimated 27–28 km on the highway.
  13. Route description: straight toward Bengaluru / straight back toward Mumbai.
  14. City note: says it gives “almost average speed” in the city (no numeric mileage value).
  15. Inspection concern: shows a measurement like “3–4 fingers” / only “303” (unclear) and says it should be checked right away.

Speakers / views

  • Main speaker (Sudhir / channel owner): provides most details—starting strategy, CNG fill specs, mileage estimate, and pump experience.
  • A couple of brief mentions of others (e.g., “brother”, “Kabir”), but no clear separate technical opinions are presented in the subtitles.

Verdict / recommendation

Recommended if you handle cold mornings correctly.

  • The video claims strong highway mileage (~27–28 km) on CNG.
  • However, it strongly warns that CNG can be troublesome when cold, so the owner recommends starting on petrol first and notes possible long-term wear concerns if you rely on cold CNG starts.
