  • Bad Diesel Fuel Economy

    Hi All

    Over the last 2 re fills my diesel fuel economy has gone south, in a bad way. I averaged around 1100kms on a 125L refill however I am now lucky to get 800km's from the same amount of fuel. I have changed fuels to BP in the last 2 fills as we have moved house. I put the first bad tank down to very short trips and many of them when we moved house 3 weeks ago but I refilled last week and now just on half a tank used with 367kms travelled. This has only happened in the last 4 weeks or 2 re fills, prior to that all good.

    My Prado is not stock standard but I find this to be terrible fuel economy in a very short period of time. I have checked the usuals, air filter, its not blowing smoke, oil levels fine, no leaks etc. Tire pressures are spot on at 40PSI.

    I have no idea, going to book it in to Toyota tomorrow for them to have a look at as I am not impressed with this economy at all.

    If anyone has any ideas on what it could be it would be apprecaited. I have searched to see if anyone else has exprienced a similar issue.

    Cheers Daniel.

    Daniel have you checked the injector feedback values? Filters changed out as per schedule? One of the signs of the injectors going bananas is heavy fuel consumption. pm Roo.

        Bad Diesel Fuel Economy

        BP Wishart or Caltex Woolworths Mt Gravatt. I spoke with Toyota today and they have it booked in for the day tomorrow as it is not normal. It has always been serviced by Toyota and has just over 40K on it in just over 3 years. Glad I bought the extended warranty now...

            No point pm'ing roo, I'm talking to him right now & he tells me he has been banned. So no more help from him.
            He as helped out lots of people here, but it looks like that has come to a holt.
            You could try his email, [email protected].
            Good luck!

              WTF, what has the Rooster done. As u said he does more good at helping people than harm i would have thought.

                  Im not having a go at anyone here, personally ppl can say what they want, its a forum.

                  Well, contrary to popular belief, I'm not here that much, (some ppl live on the net, not me) so I never saw it. John, after being called dishonest, that got his back up & he might have posted a bit he shouldn't have????? I don't know it's been edited.
                  I'd hope & suggest its a short holiday? Talk to piggy guys, I know his doing his job, hard to say without reading it, but perhaps a warning?
                  If that didn't work then if a holiday is in order, then it is.

                  You know I notice some ppl reply to threads to help ppl, but there are a handful of ppl here that want to pick on the advise given - (results in less help)
                  If you have not got something positive to add then zip it.
                  It's ok to ave differing opinions too, ppl need to learn to agree to disagree. Instead of posting the same shit over again, these long threads of arguments, I don't even bother reading most of it. If your going to disagree with some using either facts, experience, tech training, personal experience or a combination of the above, please have more of that to back your disagreement or don't bother starting conflict.

                  Once again this us a general comment/opinion so I might be wrong again.

                      Thanks, its at Toyota today however they have just told me that from new the best I can expect out of a tank of fuel (150L Tank!!!) is 900kms... I am sure these guys have no idea what they are talking about.

                        I also think that they might want to read Toyota's own marketing blurb... http://www.toyota.com.au/prado/featu...e/turbo-diesel

                        In spite of all the power it generates, the Prado's 3.0L turbo diesel engine has been designed to be frugal and uses fuel economically - the Prado five door with a manual transmission (only available on GX and GXL) delivers an impressive 8.8L/100km (or around 1700km per tank)[J9] with the automatic doing slightly better.

                            B.S! Clowns. That should be the worst you will get unless towing or bad driving a its/stop start etc.
                            Might have a crook sensor, need to plug in. Did they all is ok?

                              Roo has been a great help to so many people on this sight, if admin feel that he overstepped the mark then warn him but not ban him....IMO. This sight is so helpful and to lose people that can really help is a bit of a pain. So Piggy, how about cutting John some slack this time.
