Thread: How many kms on a full tank ?

Our latest run Mel- Paynesville - Melbourne (a bit over 600km)we achieved 9 litres per 100km which I was well pleased with. generally running into town, 50km each way on uncluttered straight roads we get around 10 l per 100km which is still pretty good for such a beast. I'd be careful about squeezing 1000km from a tank in case it was being unusually thirsty on the day. I haven't had to bleed a diesel yet but I believe it can be problematic. Talking of which can someone point me to a link that shows the D2 process? Thanks!

Turn the ignition on and pump the accelerator pedal 5 times then the purge will commence leave it until the mil lamp stops flashing

Sent from my SM-G900I using AULRO mobile app

I did Sydney (central) to Brisbane my TD5 before that bypass was put in on the boarder there (forgotten the name, near the GC Airport!).


I filled up in MT Cotton about 15ks from Cleveland so about 950ks on that tank.


Cheers

That sounds too easy! Thanks. Hoping I'll never need it but.

My manual 2002 td5 constantly tows a jims mowing trailer and I get around 450kms per tank, but that is around town so stop start stuf. The longest run I get is without stopping is 10km if I'm lucky! By the sounds of it mines the worst of the lot.

With my Disco being a little sick at the moment. I still managed to get 830 odd kms out of the thank when the light came on.

I did fill it up to top, enough for it to spill diesel from the top of the tank somewhere. Leaked all over the service stations floor.......

To prime an emptied TD5 , which I did once to our old 04 TD5 , I think the book says something like.

Turn ignition on for 10 seconds and then off.

Repeat for 3-5 ? times

This allows the pump to prime and pressurise the system

I think that's what I did.

It may be in the owner manual.

It sounds very clean and straightforward. The reason I asked the question was because I seem to remember browsing this forum one time a saga someone had with the above process not working. Can't find the thread now and I think it was unresolved.
