7l/km!! That's a THIRSTY BEASTY! I presume you mean 7km/l...hehehePieter du Toit wrote:
Intussen het my Parol die eerste 1 200km al agter die rug - en sover lyk my brandstof verbruik na so 7.0l/km - dit was op de eerste vol tenk - maar dis nog early days. Onthou valves moet nog weer gestel word na die inloop periode - boost moet nog bietjie opgestel word en fuelling moet nog gedoen word vir optimum krag en "comsumption". Maar enige iets tussen 6 en 7 sal ek happy mee wees - - daai 33" is baie rubber op die teer!!!
Ek ruik n tweede Kaapse Patrol outing nader kom!!
The usual unladen fuel consumption I get with my 33's is ~7-8km/l (a headwind can be a real bitch) and when totally laden, a strong headwind or deep sand that can go down to ~6km/l. I think the worst I ever got was in the deep sandy section just outside Xakanaxa....that was all low-range stuff, with 33's and fully laden (a month's worth of gear)...if I remember correctly I got ~5-5.5km/l.
These guys are super reliable when it comes to fuel consumption....even on the open road you don't see much of an improvement....but then again...pushing a big 2.5 tonne steel box with tar shredding rubber through the air at 120km/h isn't an easy task...
Congrats again on an awesome new cab!

Re: Project TD42T Conversion
Srxy,
Oops - yeah my blondeness came through again I meant 7km/l.
All is well and the Patrol has done almost 2000km - I am drving it every little change I get. The aircon has been regassed and feels like a bloody freezer - so for now I am not even turning it on.
At 2000 km the oil and filter change will be done and then the turbo and fuelling must be setup - and then all will be well and I can start again.
I will soon make the post regarding the costs and where what spares was sourced.
Regards

Re: Project TD42T Conversion
Hi All,
My Patrol will be doing the last of the 500 run in klometres this weekend - and then it will be al over!!!
Unfortunately I am working the long weekend in Aug - so no for me
Meantime I will get the oil change done and have the turbo & fuelling setups sorted - and soon thereafter I will organize the 2ND CAPE TOWN OUTING!!
Who is game for Babylonstoren - out Malmesbury way and near enough to do as a day trip???

Re: Project TD42T Conversion
Baie dankie Koos - all well ends well!!!
Mufasa se inloop kilo's is nou agter die rug - hy is gediens en loop nou op Delo 400 olie - volgens my workshop die beste wat jy kry net voor sinteties. (Ek bleddie hoop so - die goed kos R42-00 per liter - en die 4.2 vat 11 liter!! )
Nou gaan Frans hom net so n bietjie "tune en toor"(alles binne perke en specs) - dan sal ons weer lekker kan 4x4!!
Smaak my ons sal so n ou tripie moet uitwerk......sal nice wees net om gesigte by die name te kan sit - dit voel al of ek helfte van die mense hier persoonlik ken
Groete
