Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey,

I have a quick question for those who own a 3.0V6 ( mines an auto) Yesterday the fuel light came on so i went to get some petrol... got 15liters and went here and there and nothing pedal to the metal, nicely and today i went to go get petrol again becausethe meter was really down and i noticed that with 15liters i only went 86km is that good or bad? I run 33's, have a steel bar, roofrack and winch.

Thanks

Dan

I get about the same with my 3.5. My old 3.0 was better on fuel though.

I had a 3.4 litre V6 Prado auto that used more, revvy engine + heavy vehicle=lots of fuel! Also had an '84 Rangie with a Holden 5 litre V8 conversion[auto]that used about 20 litres per 100 kays driven carefully! Maybe a gas conversion would be worthwhile if you do lots of kays? We had a 1999 Magna with the 3.0 litre V6 that was a little thirsty too. But I guess the Paj is a heavy vehicle!

cheers Will.

Given your mods, I'd say thats not to bad.

thanks for the replys guys, and yea will i guess it isnt that bad, plus 86km the meter was down on the red and the fuel light wasnt on yet so i can probs get 100-110 out of it i say.

What is this 'fuel light'? Neither of my last 2 Pajeros showed any signs of one!!

Come on the dash in Orange when fuel gets low.....

Gen 2 ones have it anyway.

Neither of my Gen 2s have it!! Maybe time to open the dash and swap bulbs!

My 3.0 Gen 2 didn't have one. But my 3.5 does...

My 3.0 Gen 2 has one. Doesn't give a whole lot of warning - from memory, well under 50km from first light to no go.

wow .. I run 33's (tall and skinny) and get better than that .. well at least onroad ... I use about 17 l per 100 on LP gas and 12s to 13's on petrol.
