fuel consumption

and another thing take the tractor wheels off and put the proper wheels back on that ll give you a few more mpg DERR

20 you must have a very heavy right foot i get high 20s perhaps if you all cleaned the 4-5 ton of 5hit and mud from under your trucks it would help and of course you skinflints could start using real diesel instead of lard and pig fat

20 mpg ha ha ha ha ha ha only from a pig fat burner

you are probably using 50% of your engines power just sucking the pig fat from your tanks

dont under stand anything about air ind......ks...... things but at least someones on my side do you use hillbilly pig fat it may be that rather than the air wosname

Hell Steve what you on today......

[steve s]

HA HA HI YA M8 HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GOOD ONE sorry im shouting .well im sitting hear on my own trina still in bed and just thought id get a good old heated discussion going pass the time you now

[steve s]

but im sure im right about the pig fat n tractor wheels

[stormforce]

Mandy's only just got up .I've been up since 7a.m.
Go for it Steve lol

[JUDWAK]

has to be veg oil
any animal fat will kill ya truck (trans fats)
bigger wheels give ya a little more mpg

and i do use veg oil some times just coz its better than throwing it away
air induction kitts make the air go faster into ya engine helps the turbo runn better give a bit more power on take off
but i can just put the aire filter back in untill i want to use that bit more diesel for off roading

Hippo managed 25 1/2 MPG over 62,000 miles using veg

S O T R A C T O R W H E E L S are a good thing then

Mine runs on neat dino fuel and is cruised on motorway around 65'ish so no lead foot there and as for tractor tyres, mine are a factory fit option size so shouldn't make that much difference.

Are you sure you are doing your conversion from KM's to Miles correctly

[Taliesins]

Mine is standard too apart from an induction kit, and I dont go offroading.
Best I ever achieved was 25mpg but that was boring driving with an aim to see how much mpg I could get.
Calculated by filling to brim, setting tripmeter to zero and calculating over a few fillings.

Bigger wheels give less mpg for several reasons. The stock gears are set up for standard wheels. Going bigger will make for less efficient gearing, and more importantly more weight further away from the rotational centre.

More weight further out from the axle means more power required to get the mass up to speed. Think of the old experiment you might have done in physics in school where you spin on an office chair and then pull your arms and legs in.

Well, they are a good thing on a tractor. Youll find that most tractors have tractor wheels, and what is 2nd gen Surf if its not a tractor ??
