Srikumar Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) Mine is a 68 litre tank, and I get about 550 -600 km on road. Have never done a complete off-road drive with it, but I think a 20 litre extra can should be sufficient. Let me know what you recommend.

Rahimdad Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Mine is 70 litre tank, gives me 550 kms after direct fan. My guess is 250 -300 kms off-road. I will be carrying 20 litres extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOOR OMAR Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Yes .. but the tyers on it is 35” which is causing huge consuming of fuel on road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikumar Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Larger tyres mean more rubber and they are not exactly a weight to cause a fuel consumption increase. It might be that the width of the tyres are more which causes a high amount of resistance while starting. But at cruising speeds this should also not affect to such an extent I feel it sounds a bit strange that there is such a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow79 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Bigger tyre size gives you a bigger rolling per rpm so you should be saving fuel not increasing it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Alright guys, let's cut it short on what bigger tires give better or worst fuel mileage OR move to another thread. Let's go with what owner really gets out of a full tank. PERIOD. Things to check/fix/bring for each Liwa drivers. Gaurav: Sand mats Thuraya with working chip Winch (if possible) DC - AC inverter to charge radio during break Asif: Get outdoor umbrella Big straps and ratchets Sri Fix your suspension Noor Fix your winch (if you can) Saleem Jack stand Workshop Jack OBD scan tool Hammer, wrench spanner, and all other tools, wires, switches etc. Race fuel (as much as you can accommodate, we will shift the load in other cars) We will make whatsapp group for all drivers wives/family, to keep an update thru satphone of our progress. I seriously suggest that after doing the liwa crossing we sleep another night at Hameem and start back in morning. However, this is purely optional based on driver's strength and urgency to reach back home. I will start on 3 Dec morning, anyways to not to stress myself for 3+ hours back drive at night. 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.
