Gas Usage

[Kezza]

Hey lads,

I have a SWB 1993 2.5TD Pajero. I only seem to be getting 250km to a tank of diesel, this just doesn't sound enough... My tank is a 70 ish litre

My 1994 swb 2.8 turbo inter cooled diesel gets over 500km before the fuel light comes on (about 55 litres), 800km on a long trip flat roads.

Check air and fuel filters, tyre pressures. Any signs of leakage or do you have a big dent in the fuel tank?

Check Fuelly to see what others get from their Pajeros

Wow, any big tyres etc in the mix? again Wow, I'd be hunting no more than 12(generous lt per hundy) unless someones turned up the wick plus 33s etc

Im running 31" muddies, so that shouldnt be messing things up too much... Possibly something up with my gauge maybe ?

chuck a twenty of deisel in the boot and drive it till the first cough. that'll let you know if the gauge is out

Or fill up an reset the trip meter then next time it needs fuel fill it up again an note how much diesel and the kms travelled.

That was my idea, im running it down atm so maybe my gauge will take ages to do the last half

[northland_pajero]

If its anything like my Pajero the second and third 1/4s go fast, its the first and last 1/4s on the gauge that go slowly!!

My 93 L200 is like that, must be a Mitsi thing.

Thats what im hoping

[89pajero]

Yeah I find the same thing with my pajero aswell, it drops off full real quick then seems to slow down over the middle of the tank.

I brought a 3.5L petrol a while ago, and now if I even think about driving it the fuel gauge drops by half a tank.....goes through more gas than a medium sized banana republic

[northland_pajero]

Re the 3.5 petrol I understand they use more laid on their sides too, enjoyed reading your posts!!!

[1000dollamitzy]

i cant comment, i havent rolled that one......yet.........

[Tarmac]

They gauge you shld be worrying about is the on that reads a buck fifty plus per litre as your filling it up, not the one on the dash that says your almost out Top it up do a few hundy k's... repeat, maybe/ hopefully the tank isnt as big as you thought.

[Kezza]

Thought I would chuck up some results, so far im on 299km since I last filled up, I am sitting on E but my light hasnt come on yet... I have also added a 10 litre container of diesel to the back

[WHOOPS]

Yeh I have a 3.5L and it sucksssss the gas lol

[Kezza]

On 349.2km and havent coughed yet....
