HJ47 fuel tank capacity

Where does it say anywhere that he is from the city, I am sick and tired of the innuendo of where someone lives as to their knowledge.
Is my location as NSW indicate that I am a city bloke, although I spent over half my life in western QLD.

It is not rocket science that he asked a valid question that doesn't need a half ass reply like yours

Actually Aandy, not so simple. My HJ47 shows around empty on the gauge at the 70 odd litre mark, however the owners manual states around 90 litres. I'm not game to run the bugger dry, as I'd hate to have to prime the old girl from scratch.

Most I ever ran it to was a 75 litre refill. Averaged around 6.6 km per ltr on the trip, so theoretically if you were willing to run it to the wall - you should get about 580 kms out of a tank. Mine's a full troopy, not a tray.

I'm getting a second 110 ltr tank fitted, so theoretically it should be good for 1200 kms conservatively....

John, if you want to message me, I can send you the spreadsheet of my last trip - should give you an idea.....

>You could even look at your speedo and that'll tell you how far you can go. Not rocket science!

I always thought that speedos displayed your speed, you bloody country bumpkins aint got a clue have you... ;-)

Last time I looked at my speedo, I could plainly also see the odometer. Yours must be placed elsewhere or maybe your peripheral vision isn't too good. Kev, of course John's from the city. Country people are self sufficient, self reliant and have highly developed problem solving skills. City folk always look for others to solve their problems. I've even heard of some who pay good money to talk to a therapist to find solutions to their problems. Country folk just have a yarn to a good mate. Scott, grit your teeth and drain the bugger dry. Then you"ll have to learn how to prime the old girl from scratch. It will give you great satisfaction when you have achieved it.

Another example of people needing help.
There is a post headed ..... "T-Vans-How do you sleep in it?" (Should be them but we'll let that one pass). I almost replied "sleep lying horizontal in a position of your choosing" but then thought better of it and will just leave them to work it out for themselves!! Gee whizz these city folk give me a great laugh. Wait till I tell the boys at the market that there's a bloke who can't work out how much fuel his tank holds and another who can't work out how to sleep in an off road camper.

so there we have it folks - country people: jack of all trades. It makes you wonder why they have problems finding doctors, lawyers, teachers and tradespeople to work in country towns... haha

Jeez, I seem to be missin' all the fun they have out there - never thought re-priming a 2H diesel could be a days entertainment... I'll try it tomorrow and pass on all the laughs I have to all the posters here... should beat the Friday funnies I reckon....

And, of course - looking at the ODOMETER running around town should give you a good indication of your fuel usage on the Tanami - should be about the same....

Aandy,

You have obviously lead a very sheltered life, It amazes me that some as big a hill billy as you can actually work a computer let alone log onto the internet.

People as questions to save themselves the time in having to run the vehicle dry and re prime it.

If you had noticed John would probably be able to teach you how to prime the motor frm scratch.

Enough said
Kev

Exactly, the whole point in having a forum such as this is to allow people to network with each other regarding their vehicles. Its the modern way of "having a yarn with ya mate" as u put it.

John,

If you want to message me with your email addy, I can send you the stats of my last trip - might help with some estimates,

Scott.
