View Full Version : is it normal for gas to go down....
myroncuz 06-14-2005, 01:15 PM as fast as mine with the vf34 set up? yesterday, i noticed that my tank went down 1/4 tank with only about 30-40 miles...i was a lil over half yesterday and now im at 1/4... im hoping that thats the correct mpg for the vf34 with pinks.. better that then a fuel leak.. thanks
luktang 06-14-2005, 01:29 PM Yo Myron! How's the new turbo??? Swwweeeeeet!!
sakebomb 06-14-2005, 01:54 PM no not supposed to happen. i had a fuel leak and wasted almost 1/4 tank in 42 miles so you prolly have the same prollem as i did. check and recheck your fuel system. make sure the plate above the fuel tank that supports is tightened down securely and make sure that the seal under it is in place. then check the hoses. then check your injectors.
congrats on the vf34 tho who did the wrenching?
myroncuz 06-14-2005, 02:12 PM and friend and i did it on saturday.. the thing is we checked everything. first i had a fuel leak by the injectors then we fixed the problem and everything was a-ok... then i noticed gas mpg was horrible. anyways, i think ill check the fuel pump area cuz thats one of the parts that i did. LOL
STiNightFall 06-14-2005, 02:19 PM yo myron, you don't got injectors in yet? man don't play around with the turbo yet then! i would be scared to start a fire or something
myroncuz 06-14-2005, 02:22 PM ^^ of course i got injectors yo!!! i wouldnt think about putting the turbo in without the nesscessary components. :)
and chuckie, turbo is awesome... i tested it out ONCE and it pulled hard..something not recommended during break-in process. :)
luktang 06-14-2005, 04:11 PM Yikes... hope u find the problem d00d~! Good luck.
playa7 06-14-2005, 07:53 PM LOL! yah, 1/4 tank in 50-60miles so far....but who cares this thing hauls! haha... yo, Myron we must have put in are VFs the same time...i got about 180miles on it already...i'm going to do about 200 more before i really let her loose ;)
oh yah, what EM you using? your AP or UTEC?
jdepould 06-14-2005, 08:05 PM why not figure out your real mpg instead of guessing based on the gas gauge?
myroncuz 06-14-2005, 08:10 PM rob-ap
jde--i will. but 30-40 miles for a 1/4 tank is pretty bad..
