    How many kms on a full tank ?

    Sure there must be a post on this before, but how far can you go on a full tank ? I am getting circa 600kms suburbia driving, 2003 D2a TD5 Auto, 700 kms on long country drive. Is this about right ?

    I should add 245/75/16 AT's, EGR removed as well as many mid-muffler. Think my speedo is about by 5% due to the tyres.

    Ive had close to 900 ks out of a tank with a roof rack on a looooong drive but mine is emanuel
    It also depends what tyres your running size ect also how you drive
    I just come back from a weekend noth west of the state (vic) Towed the camper and mixed some 4wdriving and city driving and im at 760ks and just hit 1/4 of a tank

    My TD5 gets close to 600km with less than a tank (never seem to be able to fill it up to the top - only gets to the 7th mark on the gauge) around the suburbs, with a full length roof rack and bar on the front. I also know I've got an exhaust leak I've got to fix.

    I know when I got the Disco, pre-roofrack and exhaust leak, I managed over 800km on highway runs.

    I've done pretty much the same drive minus pulling the camper and I'm at about 475 km and I have about 3/8 of a tank left.

    You are running larger tyre`s which throw your odo out and slightly over gear it.
    When i run my 265/75/16" muddies im lucky to get 700 out of the tank

    Have you allowed for the + 5% in the calculations and is this brimming the fuel tank ( you can get at least another 10 litres in the tank........ slowly after the bowser clicks off ).... I usually get 850 from brimmed tank till fuel light then fill up, around 75% country driving, usual engine breathing mods , custom remap , match ported head , bigger intercooler , auto , 245/75/16 d674 muddies .
