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?

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...

:)

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.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
