Finally achieve 1000k to a tank.

It's a shame that none of the "suggested improvements" in that section on our site haven't and will probably never be implemented at factory level

I thought I'd had a good look around this site but I'll have to go and revisit that one and see if it's what I think too!!

It's a fairly short list really....

What you guys on about

hayseed · **Reply #40: May 26, 2009, 00:48:25**

Heehee.

Looks like my first tank is going to give me around the 700km mark. Got ~560km on the clock now, and the fuel indicator is telling me I've got another ~155kms or so to go before Sheldon wants another drink.

Lakes · **Reply #41: May 26, 2009, 07:48:25**

tell sheldon to drink up while he is a baby

when you fill up keep watching the throth and bubbles, as it goes down fill it more keep doing that till you see throthless liquid then you are on maxium full. don't worry it will not expand.

I just waited till the pump clicked off once before I stopped filling. Guess I should wait for the click, wait a bit more then see how much more I can fit in after.

**Reply #43: May 26, 2009, 09:23:44**

I'm happy to give up after the first click. It takes all day to fill to the brim, I just pretend I have a smaller tank.

In any case I can get 1000Km, so there seems little point trying my patience. I might be anal but sometimes life is just too short.

Lakes · **Reply #44: May 26, 2009, 10:21:11**

well, i must agree it can be time consuming, but i do it, i found some brands of diesel and some pumps easier than others, also after first click, slow down, take filler nozzle out so you can watch the fuel coming out just keep it flowing so the throth stays at the top , when you get it right up it will slowly go down keep it filling up then you will see the throth stays full then it turns liquid.
but as i have said before if you try Caltex Vortex premium diesel it is much easier to fill up as a lot less throth. i like it the best!
if you do this you will find your fuel gauge stays full from 250k to 350k before it moves off the full mark, will depend on driving conditions.

hayseed · **Reply #45: May 26, 2009, 10:47:01**

Hmmm. It looks like I will be filling up at Caltex generally (gogo Everyday Rewards Card!) but where I am, I've never noticed there being a premium diesel being offered. There only seems to be the single flavour so to speak.

Might have to look a little harder the next time I visit!

Here is a link about Caltex Vortex Premium Diesel, at the bottom there is another link to click and it comes up with a list of service stations that stock it, they have Vortex Premium Diesel written on the pump, after a hundred or so you feel motor becomes more responcive as injectors clean up, but as seldon is a baby you should feel motor is smoother and more responcive quicker, but you really need to fill up twice in a row to get a 100% tank full as if you just fill up you have a percentage of what ever was in tank b4 mixed in.

almost forgot to add link

Oh neat. Looks like at least 2 of the service stations I'd visit will have it! So that's good news. Thanks for the info Lakes!

Also currently going by numbers looks like I'll squeeze out over 700kms on my first tank now. Not too shabby!

Lakes · **Reply #49: May 27, 2009, 07:44:29**

keep revs around 2,000 then shift up, make sheldon pull from 1,500 in 5th the pressure pushs the rings out to get a good seal down low, also keeping at lower revs helps economy, but a rev to say 3,500 once a week is good as keeps the variable vane in turbo moving to stop carbon up.
cheers
this is just how i see it. the Vortex is good fuel just costs a few cents more but in the long run its worth it.

Hee, I be an auto driver. I let Sheldon decide what revs he wants to be at! But, I can put my foot down to get the revs up if really required.

Soo, I discovered that Woolworths Caltex and Caltex are two different things!

The Woolworths Caltex doesn't sell the premium diesel, it only offers the low sulfur one.
