hey guys have not said much for ages

well the time has come for a locker i have decided... but first i need to fix this problem i have a idea of what it could be but not a easy fix

atm

i have the stock fuel tank with a few nice dents in it my problem is that im useing way to much fuel eg 100 - 150 ks to a tank ! = cant really get anywhere to use the locker haha

now im thinking of replacing the carb but i was just wondering if theres and easy fix for the carb and what could cause it to use so much .. i know with motorbike carbs all u do is adjust the air / fuel mixture but on the zook i think it would be dif .. and prob easyer to by new carb any ideas felas ..many thanks

Instead of calculating 100-150ks to a tank, can you tell how many kilometers to the liter, or how many liters per hundred kay.

If your tank is dented to buggery, 100 - 150k may well be fine, but without knowing how much fuel you are using, as in how many liters to do the 100-150k its impossible to say whether that is excellent fuel milage, or fuk all.

yes u do have a very good point and i didnt think of it like that .il work it out and let u guys no but what would be good per 100 ks for a suzuki 8 ?

all so the thing is it has seem to have got worse .. i rember when i used to get 300 to 400 out of a tank depending how hard i drove it .. ever since the hill climbs it hasnt really been the same ..thats why i dont think its anything to do with the dents in the fuel tank

don't forget larger tyres will put you odo/speedo out giving you a false reading.

Another thing, are you going by the fuel gauge, or running out, fuel gauges are a tad unreliable, every time i fuel up, I press the odometer and zero it, this tells me how many Ks I have dun without trying to remember, I get around 10lph out of the vitara, so I know when i get about 300 or so up on the odo its time to refuel, no matter what the gauge says.

Checked everywhere for any fuel leaks? At tank, along lines and around carby?

Depends on the driving for me. Driving around town with 31's and 6.5:1 transfer I get around 10 litres per 100. Freeway driving trying to sit on 110, and the fuel economy is abysmal

oh shit, i get 13L/100km regardless of driving hard or granny-style. no fuel leaks, just what i get... forced me to buy a second car since i do 500+km per week and refuse to sell the zuk.

almost stock size tyres, stock everything else...
