Fuel Questions

[R33sedanturbo]

hi i own a r33 gtst 4door series 1 i dont know how big the fule tank is i dont know how may liters per 100 km

and dont even know how much i should get out of a tank and my fule gauge is giving miss readings. the first half it says i ruffley get 180km the last hallf it says it onley gives me 90 km on the guage so that equals to 270hm per tank witch is really poor so what i did once was run it just keep driving i know thats bad for the car to run out with these kind of fule pumps but i ran it till it got to 330 on the clock it showed empty for 50km. and it seemed to have plenty of fule would start up easy. and im getting diffrent reading all the time on my fule guage each time i fill up my car. ive asked a machinc and he says all fule gauges dont show correct reading's but 50 km + is a big diffrence all fule gauges i see seem to read right.

i use boost 98 and i have aftermarket dashes but every thing else works fine the speedo revs boost temp oil so it cant be the aftter market dashes the car is pretty much stock apart from that

can any one help me on how to fix it if it can be please would greatley appreciate it

how much do you put in when you fill up? i know the coupe has a 65l tank, so i assume the sedan would be similar. i get about 300-350km to about 50l.

fuel not fule

it could be your level sender. so a search.

its just a matter of opening up your fuel tank from the access in the boot and then mounting the level sender back on its mount. its a common problem with 33's.

but normally you'd get 300-350k's from a 33 with basic mods as they tend to run rich anyway.

This really hurts to see such bad fuel economy....

The 33 must be like a brick passing through the wind compared to the 32 as I know of so many 32's returning over 400km's to a tank of of juice (~50L)

Even the 3ltrs (mine, bl4ck32's and rbmans returns over 400km's per tank.

Unless you drive damn hard all the time it should not be returning under 400km's.

ok ill check it out but i dont know what side of the boot it is on or where it should be attached to or what needs to be attached to it now i know what it looks like all i have to do it find out where it is

and see if it is on the bracket. and with the 32 it has a smaller engin as well 2.0 ltr compared to the 2.5 and turbo on top of it as well
