Thread: Ineos Grenadier, do you reckon it'll take off?

Yep mate. Can't have too much in those places. I had 120l from the last fuel up to Lakefield in the far north and it allowed a little exploration but not much. Could have done with another 25 to 50 litres for 4-5 days there. Cheers

OKA has about 200l ( never accurately measured it and now I can't afford to! ) and it needs more.

Besides, a fuel tank can get punctured. Having some extra diesel on board could be a lifesaver.

90 litres mate. They speak of a range of over 800klm factory but for a laden touring version especially with stuff on the roof which it is very likely to have given lack of space inside then I doubt the highway would see better than 550 to 600k and then offroad would be less again. Cheers

At the drive day that I attended some time ago the driver who made a very quick run from SA to Qld claimed to have achieved 10 to 10.5 l/100km. Admittedly he would have been travelling light & with nothing on the roof.
But still not bad for the speeds he claimed to be travelling at.

About the same as a TD5 D2 then.

I got back on Tuesday, after a fortnight on Moreton and the little, orange light on the main fuel (90l) gauge winked a couple of times on some hills near home. From home to home, looking for fishy areas, two trips to North Point and the obligatory trip to Toulkerrie Oysters, at the Southern end, I did about 460-500 km this trip to Moreton. I used a bit more fuel than usual as the sand was pretty soft and I did a bit of extraction/recovery work.

If staying for more than a fortnight, I would have cause to access the auxiliary tank, also 90l.

I've known people with 80l tanks to need fuel, after only a week there!
They're normally the 'P' plate, bling brigade though.

Edit: It's about 140 km round trip from home to the ferry, to home.
