I've found the little 3 litre loves to rev and still get good mileage, I would think that being fitted with 33s would tend to make it lug and drink juice. Did either of your mates swap to a different diff ratio to compensate, Lucas?Quote:

Running OE 265's will see figures like 10/100k change tyres and thats 13/100
thats on the 3ltrsTD
Oh yeah, they love to rev lol. Whack some 33's on yours to see the difference, and like I said, one mate even runs 35's. Both Running standard ratios.Quote:

As everyone knows, driving style varies the economy... I just think that we often don't realise how different some driving styles are.
The tb48 doesn't even hit the power band until 3000rpm, peak power at 4200. I imagine the 4.2 is similar.
I got 456km out of 100lt of gas. All highway 100 - 110km/h in my 4.5l GU just under 1900 and 2100 rpm. Standard size tires and 3.9 ratio diffs. Doesn't like the hills needed to drop out of overdrive. Gas system is a direct injection.
That's impressive. Although how did you get 100L of gas? I thought the largest tank was a 155l (water volume) 90L (LPG) useable.Quote:

Did it with my other 4by
It's a 110 (water capacity) just kept on going till it stopped, was driving back from Mildura so I was going to need as much ad possible. The tank was completely empty before I started.Quote:

Unless I have it all wrong.
That should have been 115L Max.. Although if there is a 120L option I've been lied to :mad:
ok i'm over this - i'm getting on average 250km out of my 90lt LPG and have just monitored my petrol at 100km to 30lt- I know I can get more out of it from reading here.. its costing me a fortune!
Can someone please help me out and recommend where i can go to have this investigated and fixed?
:(
Billy on your gas converter there is a brass hex screw with a spring on it,
Back it off two flats of the hex and try again, mark where it was so you can put it back if need be.
I take it the back of your pipe is black as a pirates beard LOL
If your free over the weekend pop over.
Could see my mate down in Slater pde East Keilor

This is the screw you're talking about yeah? No spring on it though.. I marked it where it is at the moment - how much do i turn it anti clockwise? it can only be turn half clockwise.. i assuming from what you said 'two flats' means half or 30mins on a clock face!?!
My exhaust is not black at all..
Working the weekend!
PS - The beard has gone.....
or do you mean this screw?

I have a 35 Litre ULP Tank which at 15 Litres per 100 K's equates to 230 odd K's
So Highway Cruising I have a range of 800 K's using both ULP & LPG
4.5 Litre EFI Motor
I drive at 100/110 KPH and my Patrol is Stock Standard with a Alloy Bull Bar. No Lift
say thats at 3 oclock now turn it back to 0ne oclockQuote:

You also have a big one on the main gas line.
What I cant understand is how Bob gets Normal economy and not one other petrol owner here even comes close
A 120 tank will fit a patrol giving you 100 fill Bobs may be installed on a slight angle giving an extra 5 litres
My other 4x4 I got 400ks from an 80 litre tank then I changed to a bigger one after the engine swap
23.8l/100k.
Took use over 6 hours (moving for 3.5hours) to do 100ish k's
should start another thread just for dual fuel Patrols stating tank size and range
and what type of gas system is fitted,
@ Billy your electrics need to be spot on with a clean air filter for optimum performance on gas
if you back that screw off and find it backs fire under full throttle that will tell you its lean so move the screw back where it was
or an air leak somewhere
ok cool put it at one o'clock so will see how that goes - what does it actually do?
it will lean out the mix but I think the main gas line in needs to have
that tap closed a tad and leave that screw where it was, but we'll see
2800kms around Tassie, a rough mix of 20% freeway, 40% main/windy/coastal roads, 20% main dirt roads, 20% beach or low range 4wd tracks. Fully loaded rb30 patrol wagon on 35's with 4.3's, average 19.3L per 100kms for the trip. Pretty happy with that considering I'm generally putting the boot in and she was fully loaded!
@threedogs should start another thread just for dual fuel Patrols stating tank size and range
and what type of gas system is fitted,
Have you started it yet.
Or could have a standard format.
Mode: 1997 GU
Fuel: dual injected
Tank: 110 litres max fill 100
Range: about 21/100 400-450 kms week in week out.
That's my figures.
For those that are interested I've kept a record over the last 4 weeks. This is what I'm getting.
23.96L/100 km. That's normal driving, but mostly on the freeway.
Wil be getn new rig as of nxt week.. 04 gu patrol.. 3 td wagon.. was told can do over 1000ks towing a 3t trailer to both main and sub tanks.. dnt knw the size of tanks so i cnt do the math of Ltrs per 100... anyone knw hw many ltrs main tank n sub tank are...
Factory tanks are 95 litres main and 30 litres sub for a total of 125.Quote:

Maybe half the ZD30's will average around 15 LPH with that load on flat road no headwind and low trailer drag IE if it is a 3 ton van then no way.
Many will use 18 or so.
My bet is you will get about 650 K's before the low fuel light (in good conditions) maybe 750 in grey nomad mode.
Obviously you will get further if you have a long range main (145 to 160 litres) and/or long range sub (70 to 75 litres)
haha must had been talkn it upp... but he drove from mandurah ways up to my ways in yanchep which is a easy 100k each way and use only quarter tank... there n back... so I'm guessn it doing arnd 10L per 100.. but will have to wait and see.. :bananarock:
aw ye it might have long range tank...
You should get 10's on the Kwinana/Mitchell/Roe unloaded.Quote:

@ Mullett expect to get aroung 14-15ltr per 100 k with 285s/33s tyres towing a small camper, better if shod with 265s tyres
and about 12 around town with the the same size tyres285s/33s
Thats as an auto
cheers for the feedback.. I'm sure it will be better on the juice compared to my 80.. thing loves to drink but it only gets driven with pedal to the floor...
1999 cab chassis fibreglass canopy steel bulbar runva winch every thing else standard except the 3" beaudesert exhaust and got 12.8l/100 km from Rocky airport back to Mackay city and a 1/3 of that distance is 110kph posted .
