Fuel consumption / economy report

[BigRAWesty]

I fill both tanks at the same time... once the main runs out i fill it with half of the sub tank.. once that runs out use the rest of the sub tank.. helps keep a bit of lube in the tanks at all times.

Since changing from a Dawes to Tillix i have got a lot better economy.. not sure how as i have the needle/spool rate set about the same... I used to struggle to get 700km out of both... today my fuel light come on, on the main and it just clicked over 700km... So pretty much my whole subtank is bonus economy now...

700km out of a main tank is about normal for a DI?

And bonus was i got a whole tank worth of driving without having to replace my pistons

That's around 7L/100k
Surly not

90L / 700km = 12.86L/100k

Second fill since owning..
Very happy.
So with the robe to beachport run we've averaged 16.3L/100.
But also noticed that although the sub tank needle hadn't moved I put over 6L unto it..
So it does transfer a bit on start ups..

Have you noticed if the sub tank is OE or been updated to 75ltr aux.
16.3 a tad high but a good starting point. its still new to you so probably
sticking it to it a bit more than normal.
They say a bit will transfer on start up

CRD a bit thirstier than the mighty Di lol

Unfortunately only stock tanks..
But I'll do the breather mods to the main so that'll get me back up to 115L
And I'm happy with that economy..
Last weekend was 70 odd K of tough low range.. that sucked most of it..
I expect it to drop when on the road and more when travelling..
