Fuel consumption TD42

Post by 351ciofgrunt »

I'm thinking about buying a TD42 GQ, just wondering what sort of fuel consumption I can expect to get from a TD42 or TD42 turbo. How km's to the tank are you guys getting? Probably be running 33's

Wound up fuel pump, extractors, snorkel, that's the engine mods, running on 33's.
I get 15.5L - 16L per 100K's round town (stop start all the time) and i drops to 11.5L per 100k's when i do a solid tank of fuel on the motor way, the engine has 320 000 on it now too.

1993 shortie GQ, as a stocker, TD42: 8.5 litres per 100k everywhere when my Mum owned/drove it. She used to keep very good records with it, always attempting to get it down as low as possible. She could tell when it was time to change the air filter because the fuel consumption would creep up to 9.

99 ute, 4.1 ratios, 35's : 19 litres per 100k.
With turbo and 4.6 ratios : 13 to 14 litres per 100k. Best ever recorded was 12.5 litres between Tenterfield to Dubbo.
Running 38's in low range and playing hard in sand at 3000 to 3500rpm : About 30 kilometres per 1/4 tank.
