Hi All,
I have a 99 2.7L petrol hilux - done 125,000kms. Fuel consumption has gone through the roof in the last month or so and am now only getting about 320kms per tank - prior to this I could expect in excess of 550kms per tank. Driving is exactly the same - around town and occasionally to the
boat ramp.
Did a Cape Trip in May/June with no issues - the problem has surfaced since then.
I have checked all the obvious things like hoses and leaks and have replaced air/fuel and oil filters.
Exhaust gas stinks - smells like it is running very rich. Other than that it seems to be running
well enough.
Any ideas - I need help!!!
Thanks,
Shaun
