quater mark (on fuel gauge)

[AlexD333]

Does anyone know how much fuel is in the tank when it reads 1/4 obv it won't be a qauter of tank. :lol

 

[zippy656]

25% my guess

Or about 100 miles

 

[R1cho]

iirc its around 15 liters but i could be wrong

 

[AlexD333]

Reason i ask is because I'm gonna stick some veg oil in

Needless to say im a bit nervous

Its bang on Quarter mark, i don't want running issues. What do you guys recommend. Can't fill tank fully until payday.

Shall I keep ratio low? Mabye stick another 20 quid of v power in and ?L of veg

 

[zippy656]

I put 20lts vegge then top up with 20lts diesel. 50% then
When warmer less diesel

Don't know about the quarter mark and obviously I don't have a Terrano but I know that when my fuel light goes on with the Trol I've got about 15 litres of diesel left (in a 95 litre tank) but it is on the red mark by that point.

 

[AlexD333]

Right just put 20 litres on top of quarter mark. I may put the whole 20 of veg in. I'm gonna drive round the block to be safe :nenau

[AlexD333]

Does this mean im a vegetarian now?

 

[AlexD333]

She seems to be running great! What make of fuel filter is best when replacement is needed?

 

[Sweety]

You've got an 80L fuel tank so if it's reading right then there should be about 20L in the tank

 

[spiderpig37]

I use ones from my local motor factors dont bother with genuine stay clear of boshi ones they dont seal right

Oh.. so veg oil doesent require me ro change filter?

nope

 

[AlexD333]

Oh right. Puts my mind at rest. Dont know why but I was convinced it blocked it up. Even with a heavy mix of veg no change is required?

How does a 50/50 mix work in this weather?

Aha, this is why. :nenau

 

[R1cho]

erm why you filling it up like that? :lol

make a funnel from an old bottle and bit of pipe and just tip it all in, the engine should run quieter and everyone behind you gets hungry :lol

You've got an 80L fuel tank so if it's reading right then there should be about 20L in the tank

it takes more to fill the middle 2 quarters than the first and last quarter
