Hi all I have a 06 4.2 TD Cab Chassis and was wondering who has one and how many KMs on average I should be getting on a full tank?

Thinking 15-18ltr /100 k so maybe 500 out of the main tank or a tad more.
A lot depends on how and where you are driving?

I can get close to 1300 out of both tanks which is around the 12.5-13/100 mark. If I have the canopy on and some load it goes to about 14.5/100 or around the 1100 mark. Towing the horse float (approaching 3t) 17-18/100.

Same vehicle with canopy 13.25 to 13.75 lt per 100K normal driving and 15's when on Fraser up around Waddy to Indian Head etc.
175 lt on board less say 5 lt so about 1200+ although I have seen 83 lt go into the front 80lt tank and not sure how much actually fills back main 95 lt tank as it has never been empty.

cheers

I get around 14-15 but I need a tune badly. Wagon with 3" lift, 265s and a roof cage

Got sick of Motorculture so gone back to Tappa
