Indonesia's energy needs will continue to increase, especially in terms of gas fuel. The government is trying to use a converter kit to convert the engine into gas fuel to support this. The existing converter kit uses a mechanical system. To improve the converter kit capability, an electrically-based converter kit is developed. To find out the improvement in the ability of the electrically-based converter kit, a test was carried out using three pairs of engines paired with three types of mechanical converter kits and an electrical converter kit. Each engine tested for 50 hours of endurance tests and performance tests before and after the endurance test. The three engines which are using an electrically controlled converter kit showed increased performance. This type of converter kit also provides additional safety, which is when the engine is off, the gas will not flow out. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
