Doing the Canning on Petrol

20l per hundred is about what they get on the highway in good conditions I would have though usage would be much higher on the canning

In sand with low revs we averaged about 23 lph

I think a reasonably modern EFI 6cyl petrol might be a lot more fuel efficient than a V8 carby job- especially in 'hard work' situations.

No doubt at all. But I was in a much lighter vehicle than a fully laden Patrol though. Just food for thought.

Now come on Russ lets be fare, it is Yota after all LOL

Hi Trevor

What did your usage work out to be? I'm looking to do it sometime within the next 12 months.

thanks in advance.

Landy,

<180 litres, Halls Gap to Wiluna.

Was made to carry 240, even though we got fuel at the fuel dump. I've got a 120 odd litre main tank, and built a 60 litre one under the rear seat. The 3 additional jerrries were a pain and i wouldn't carry them again. We had 3 adults and a 14 yr old, so we had enough already on the racks and the back of the wagon. We carried 160 litres of water as well! Tents, swags, food, beer, cooking stuff. It all adds up.

200 tdi wagon did fantastic job.

The petrol 4 runner kept getting bogged on the sand hills. All that revving and having a few goes at each sand hill adds heaps to the consumption. He got snatched out a few times, and dug out once - couldn't open the doors! The Landy just cruised over 99.9% of the time. Only had to put the landy in reverse once, though i had to get snatched out of (un)Savory Creek. Got stuck in the same hole as the Cruiser in front of me.

Thanks for that Trevor.....

Good one, digger

You guys are making me worry about the amount of ULP I will be carrying for the Simpson this year. (220 lt) for the V6 Fronteria.
