The only experience I have had with dyno runs was with My old Bandit, Bought an official dynojet carb kit fitted it all and tuned it best I could using traditional methods off riding it and changing settings one at a time, pulling plug etc. Time consuming but worth the effort. Took it to a...

14.8 mpg. What is you average on the trip computer out of interest?

I am doing a 360 mile trip, soon, so i will brim the gas tank and zero the mpg and see how it compares to the actual, see how far out it is.

Agree Jerry. However, it will change with your driving, and can be an indication off driving economically, or like a hooligan. But thats it.

Nice one Dave, good to know its ok hey. Sounds the same as mine.

Nice, had mine since august, 50% of that time I've been soaked on the bike going to work, whilst fixing it.

Totally agree with how the fuel input is calculated, then used to get mpg. Lpg systems run independantly of engine ecu's, in fact they piggy back them and sense the signals the petrol ecu send to the petrol injetors to control the lpg injectors. So the ecu never stops calculating the mpg and...

Now I remember from years back that mpg calcs on fuel injected motors where made using fuel used in injectors, and miles travelled (why it needs time to calc). Now if the injector timing Tinj petrol stays the same when you are on gas, ie you have the gas system tuned correctly so the Tinj gas...

Explain psychic? What am I missing?. Surely they ain't far off (or meant to be resonably accurate).

Cheers wammers.

Right, most computers must be slightly out then. Mine reads ..23.5mpg thought it was high.

I just ran up the motorway , flat ish, zeroed mpg at 70 on gas got 23.5 mpg instantainiois result. I get 24.7 on petrol at the same speed. What are yours like. Mine is a 96 4.6 with a bigas gas conversion. Fresh engine rebuild but on 124k. My average on a 14 mile round trip is 17 mpg...

Just checking that the front and rear axles have the same pinion oil seal and flange. I need two, pulled the breathers today to check they where not blocked. Clean as a whistle. Rear has serious external corrosion, but still working. both have minor weeps if on a long journey. Where is the...

Put the tank back last night, no leaks at all. New lines and pump came from bearmach. I forgot about the fittings for the pump. You only get two pipes comming off the pump that need an olive and a nut for connection to the hose end. I ended up getting them from a local hydraulic supplier...

Photos of the leaking breather/balance insert in the tank, and the pipes. I Got my hot air gun last night and heated up the insert and surrounding area, then went at the weld with a small plastic welder/soldering iron, Making sure there was contact of two plastics, not tidy by any means. I...

I had a look on eBay, first place I looked. Most of them looked well knackered with bits hanging of them. I am looking at doing a plastic weld type repair before anything else now after researching it. But as you say I want it to be permanently fixed. I am going to fill the tank with water...

Ha Ha, Gone are the days of using proper petrol unless you have a prop plane then there is no alternative hey. We still make that stuff. Epoxy putty, right, I have some of that to hand, I was woried about flex, epoxy tends to be quite hard. Like you say Key is the bond to plastic. Cheers Wammers

At work and photobucket won't work, will post some tonight when I get in. Anyone know what type of plastic is the tank made from. Most are made from HDPE!

A few weeks back I changed the Fuel filter and noticed that the pipes that come from the top of the tank off the fuel pump and sender looked like they where made from copper (Strange) then I noticed that there was a material change just before the end of the pipe back to steel. Put the new...

The oil filter and oil cooler pipe needs removing from the filter housing in order to pull the pipes down passed the thermostat. The coolant hoses will move to give enough room. The best way to drain the pipes without getting the blood everywhere is to cut through the pipes under the...
