Is there something wrong with my Lorrie

[AJ Dup]

Hi all

Since I bought my Lorrie I’ve been monitoring its fuel consumption it always gave me between 5.4km/l and 6.4km/l now all of sudden on the last 2 tanks between 4km/l and 4.2km/l
When I got it I immediately fitted Maxxis bighorns 265/75/16 I had 275/70/16 on before. On the last 2 tanks I had a roof rack on.
Is there something wrong with the Lorrie or is it normal consumption with a roof rack it wasn’t loaded heavily.
Its up for its next service maybe it just needs a good service, what could maybe cause this sudden heavy fuel consumption?
What can be done if any to get better consumption (I was thinking of a good dino tuning after its service? :idea: )

Any advice would be nice.

The roofrack will make a differance in the fuel consumption... but not that much.

And remember... If u drive a Patrol, u never calculate the fuel consumption!

ja I know Im not suppose to calculate petrol Im just concerned that there's something wrong He is going to the Mechanic next week.

AJ, wat het die mekeniek gesê?

The Maxxis tyres will increase the fuel consumption and so the roofrack. These two combined will easy increase the consumption with 0.5lt-1lt /km. I must say driving in town will be heavy but on the open road she will average to 4.5lt-5.2lt/km. I should think it sounds normal.

Hi Herrie

Hyt gese als is 100%
Airfilter vol sand en stof darem nie te erg nie hy se ook ek moet hom vir tuning vat dit sal ook help.
Ek haal Roofrack die naweek af dan sal ek sien wat gebeur

Op my GQ maak 'n vuil lugfilter 'n mo3rse verskil aan brandstof verbruik. Sal interessant wees om te sien watter verskil dit maak.
