Excessive Fuel Usage.. 22litres To Drive 30km's

[Col-GTSX]

Lets put some facts down....

If the fuel were burning then you would have a black rear bar (like me) so if you arent spewing black smoke from the tail then it must be leaking.

Where could it be leaking:

* Hole in tank

* Hole in a pressured line

* Over flow not connected back to tank

* Leaking injectors

You should be able to smell fuel tho on all of these situations....

Well, here's a thought.

I drank about 60 litres of fuel racing at Winton.

I did 24 timed laps, total of about 50 klms.

let's call it 1 litre per kilometer. BUT I was at WOT most of the time.

Maybe the drive was a little spirited?

Some hard pressed commo driver syphoning fuel from your tank while you sleep?

ATTN: Original Poster, have you filled up your tank yet (so the bowser clicks) and then noted the status of the fuel meter?

If it is a fuel leak you really shouldnt drive the car around its dangerous. Whatever it is get it to a workshop asap.

hey dude check ur fuel purge tank n make sure all the hoses n shit aint blocked n stuff. my mate had a 180 and it popped flames like crazy idled rought n the cause was all the vacume lines were f**ked and pluged (some were also blocked by screws) in everywhere. he used 1/4 of a tank going about 25 km's... just a thought tho

Hey Dude Similar Thing Happen To Me But it werent that extreme

when i first got me car was getting round 200ks full tank

was getting strong feul smell in car but no smell from outside

found out the mechanic accidentally busted my feul breather hose when he was modding the feul filler valve

when filling up check the little rubber pipe next to the big feul tank filler pipe

good luck

Skyline-man, where are you...

I'v heard that you can chew soap and use it to plug up fuel tank punctures. Of course, doing that anywhere but the nullabor plain is, well, distateful...

find where the fuel is leaking from. This includes coming out the fuel cap. Happened to me all the time in my old magna (though your cap should be better).

I wanna know...

i got a stock rb25 FPR if u need one

i went through 25litres of fuel around QR at the trackday on august 30

70km on the odometer (including the drive there)

5 sessions of 5 laps went from above 1/2 to mid E line

lol

as above - hole in fuel tank, or your gauge is seriously screwed.

If you were blowing out enough fuel to consume 70L/100 in a reasonably stock gts-t, then im sure you would notice it out the back. your rear window would be tinted

If the gauge is screwed then it still wouldnt explain why he has to fill his tank UP to full!!

Or havent you looked into this possibility?? Not u,him.

You have 10,000cc injectors.
