when i had my VP SS i was geting 400 to 450kms. That was a 65ltr tank, plus i had a stage 3 cam and componet kit installed aswell. So i guess with a 100ltr tank in a 4b i wouldnt push it more then 500 to be on the safe side to you get your gauge fixed.

500ish sounds right maybe more depending
how much lead is in your foot.
and yeah
injected 304's sound way cooler than GEN III's.

(that damn noisy water pump
)

thats what it all relies on
Get a VDO fuel gauge.. $70ish I would guess... mount it in a dashpod with a proper VDO temp gauge
