Post km's/per tank for your Straight or duel fuel VN

[bognog]

Simply post how many k's you get to a tank whether you have straight gas or duel fuel. Also post any annoyances you have from whichever you have or any problems you've had.

i get 420kms out of an 80ltr tank in my 5ltr high way driving and about 200kms of city driving(giving it a flogin)
the only prob i have with the lpg is when you punch it, it gets to about 4000rpm and looses power alltogether but thats not all the time
i think its leaning off when i hits high reves
im dyno tuning it on fir hopefully
btw i got dual fuel

[adam69]

Dual fuel,70lt tank.Me driving 400km,her driving 500km plus.No probs with gas.
5ltr.likes to rev and pulls well.

[bognog]

Sik.

So i like the fuel consumption, i like no problems (i hope), and i like dual fuel. I Im gonna get dual fuel thanks for the help dudes.

i get around 250-300k's and thats on a 50L tank of gas around the city

[VNCalais98K]

ive got the 55L tank and i get about 450-480km out of it.
Its kind of funny tho when you have a 55L tank and the bowser at the servo says you put in 60 litres... farken crooks.

if you find that sort of stuff is happening. dob them in. i know a bloke who was getting ripped with petrol so he got a jerry can full and took it home and messured it. he found that he payed for 2 litres more over 20 litres. he went back to the servo and made them get there pump re-calibrated. i know ya can't do that with gas but servo's like that should be dobbed in.
i think a lot of servo's these days are picking up quite a few $$$ here and there...

[fazz1977]

I did the calculations on my fuel consumption. I average between 12.5l - 13.5l per 100kms in my VP S1 wagon, 68 litre tank, that would roughly equate to around 470-520kms per tank. Not bad really.

I've never run it below 1/3 though, not since I've had it.

CAI, K&N filter, tyres at 36psi, 98ron every 4 weeks, standard 91ron the rest of the time.

Tell Me If Its Dual Fuel Or Straight Gas Thankyou.

i think u may find thats called fuel reserve mainly on calais but if i put 55 to 60 litres in my calais it pulls around 550 out a tank and around 500 in the city giving it a flogging but its real good straight ulp and a 6

How much did you all pay to have gas installed???

[fishman]

yeah g'day i have a VN series 2 running a VP motor and the guy who owned it before had disconnected the and diverted the heater hoses to just feed the gas mixer and now i have fixed the interior leak i want to setup the hoses correctly so what i have is two hoses coming outta the firrewall some which go to the heater tap and one with a tee piece these are not connected and now i have one coming outta the front heater pipe and that feeds the gasmixer and one coming outta the gasmixer and goes back of motor(plenum)so any help, info, diagrams, or photos of hose setup on dual fual VP's and where to tee them and whatever much appreciated.......fishman
oh p.s i think my gas wagon is the best i have ever owned......

i get about 650 when i run it into the red on the gauge from a 55l tank that is about 11km per liter or 9.2l/100km i think its good coz its a manual maybe.

[coolvxss]

I get about about 400km out of a 63litre tank(petrol) Ive got it to over 600 out of a tank when i drive it like a granny. But that was just a one week thing. Just wanted to see how good i could get fuel consumption. With the way i normaly drive it, im happy with 400. I think it being a manual also helps.

[Full Spectrum]

I fill with 98 oct only now i fill up just off empty 66-67 litres average still cant work out my tank size it's taken 71 litres on board before.
I 99% of my tanks drive all local, So if i don't get over 400km it's a shock, My averages are 420km+.

[Pretender]

VN SI Auto Duel Fuel :

65 litre LPG tank or so I'm told = 450 - 490km, 13.26 - 14.44 litres per 100kms
I have never run it empty and the most gas I have ever put in is 60.02 litres so the real figures would be slightly better.

$32.00 for 490km on gas, $53.90+ for the same distance on petrol at 1.10 per litre.

Petrol: 550 - 620 per tank

[immortality]

i normally get about 470km for 50ltr of 91. V6 petrol only. thats a mix of city and highway driving. when i do short trips only it's about 400km for 50lts. it's got a 68 ltr tank but as the petrol gauge is dodgy i never use it and go by the distance travelled

[1vngal]

Dunno how big Ruby's tank is, but last time I filled her up, and reset the k's, I got to a little over 500k's and had just under a quarter when I put more in her.

Why do you only have a 55L tank? What happened to the other 8L?

[nathans1987]

haha maybe i have a 63L tank dont know but i'm sure i was looking at something and it was 55L anyway that dosent matter because i dont use the tank size to work out consumption i use a more exact method that is 99.9% correct compared to the km/tank method which can vary too much for my likeing :P

[nathans1987]

just wondering do the ss have a bigger tank coz my ss tank looks huge compared to v6

[Full Spectrum]

SS should have 80 litre tanks.

[VNPOWER]

just came back from visiting my misses grandparents in shepparton.. first long trip ever in my vn... i usually get 200k's per tank (10min city driving) today i filled up, one tank got me there and back and ive still got a 1/4 tank left. (63L tank).

did 432k's i could prabably squeeze a few more.. im happy with that.. i always thought my vn was stuffed.

The majority of the trip was at 110kph and the engine was revving at 2grand..


The funny thing, when my gauge is in the red.. i can only put 32L in before it clicks.. which means my gauge is reading wrong since ive actually still got over 30L in there which means i could probably get in the 500-600's.

[F&B]

damn vn power and i thought that mine drinks fuel like a bloke at birdsville drinks beer. but i average roughly 250k's round town and is relativley easily driven on the highway i get about 600k's per tank have got the stanard 63L tank

[vq~gangsta]

I'm on dual fuel, 5L
on the open road I get 13-14L/100Ks on petrol and 16-17L on gas

Around town it's about 18-19L/100 on petrol and 21-22L on gas
