[Discussion] Technical - Fuel Consumption

[E Aumno]

today monitored my 3rd pump, hit 317 km & pumped 15.2L..before I pump, I tilted the tank sideways a few times. can't see or hear any fuel though it should still have about 2.8L of it remaining ??

there was once, unknowingly i rode till my bike fuel totally finish. bike engine stopped while on the expressway. pushed to nearest petrol station, and managed to top up only 17.2L to the brim. i believe the remaining 0.8L is the volume that can be in the carb? but better dont expect it to give you 18L exact. lol

Whao... sibei fierce... I dun think I dare to do it... some more in JB... abandon bike go buy petrol also cannot, push bike also die... LOL

Our full tank is 18L. Once my FC goes to reserve, i always calcluate the FC used for 15L.

Then I will know how much I can travel for the remaining 3L. Cheers! =)

Hey Derek

 

Great dealing with you yesterday night. I felt my throttle slightly lighter this morning to work then to town and back home. No more felt like a need to throttle more to inject more fuel..

 

Will monitor my FC & update after 3-4 tanks.

 

Thanks for the advise & sharing session!

hi, revo rider here, i bought my revo quite some time liao. the fuel consumption of mine seem bad man. 270++ hit reserve when i use shell. 240+ hit reserve when use caltex. wad is wrong man? any guidance?

[thrasher]

alot of factors play a part. probably you are the always 'tarik tarik' person. always play pickup. always open vtec. always pillion people? thats the usual fuel consumption for this particular group of people.

what EO are you using?

This is strange. I dun play pick up, seldom open vtec and the only person i always pillion is my wife who's like

Mine fuel consumption seem to alot compare to the rest mentioned here. Sure anot can makan >350km for full tank?!?

 

Mine normally is about 300km then the fuel indicator start dancing. No engine mods, still using stock exhaust on my spec 1. Any way to improve this fuel consumption capacity?

[E Aumno]

NaZ23, im on the lighter side of 60kgs & predominantly ride alone, mostly pump esso 8000 premium unleaded yet my fuel gauge the best it goes is 294km & it starts dancing.

 

btw i also agrees with forumer logen1836 way of calculation below in calculating FC..

 

Our full tank is 18L. Once my FC goes to reserve, i always calcluate the FC used for 15L.

Then I will know how much I can travel for the remaining 3L. Cheers! =)

Actually I notice sumthing... The indicator bar does not equal for every bar. the first bar last the longest follow by the third bar... I think it is due to the shape of the tank... So when somebody said his 1 bar can last 50km I was like huh? my third bar can last more than 80km but 2nd and fourth bar seem like no more then 30km...

[E Aumno]

ya understand ur meaning..one time after i pumped full my tank, travelled ard 90km-100km then the bar steadily dropped/remained at the 5th bar..before that it remained mostly on the 6th(full) bar, only occasionally fluctuate to the 5th bar.

 

today i upped my mileage observation for hitting reserve. from 293 to 294 previously & today 300 km before the gauge dances. but i did pumped a 0.6-0.8 L more of fuel than previously though.

 

still observing/upping my total fc as each pump progresses..now at 319km..next to pass the 325km if opportunities(proximities to petrol stations if not..) permits..

 

btw i open/excercise my vtec whenever the roads condition permits etc my way to/fro work at parts of KPE.

[NaZ23]

Emir, thanks for the reply mate. My calculation with logen1836's is similar in tat my 15L can feed me 300km. So that means the extra 50 to 90km are running purely on 3L of reserves?

 

Thot that 15L could do that much. If can, i also wanna know how.

Anyway, i rarely take my chances when it hits reserve. Maybe extra 10 to 20km only i dare.

 

MSDS, I agree with you too that it could've been the shape of the tank. My first bar drops after 90km to 100km actually.

[jayz]

my spec 1, around 230 the bar started dancing liao loh. i even gt broquet 5t in my tank, wash and tune carb. but thats with jb v power racing. and i gt to say jb's petrol is really ****. but very cheap. lol. now i pump esso 8000. still monitoring. will update

[padfoot]

I think the meter is not very accurate. Mine starts dropping only after 100KM too.

How come so low,bro? Why do u say dat bout the petrol in JB?

[jayz]

i dunno why so low. but i dont really care liao. just ride only. about jb petrol, its just my own opinion.
