Its a mechanical diesel pump no electronics, so no instant guage. Shame as it would be nice to get definitive A-B-A tests going on, but oh well!

and that should be 1100 KGs not 1100 lbs!! My bad She's still quite light for her size as she's old and a base model Having said that, ALL my tanks have been with the car loaded to the brim (Necessary loads)

mcmancuso.... you can advance the injection pump timing, which can give a bit more power I believe but I dont know much about it I must confess

Ive had to replace the wheels with some that will hurt the mileage quite badly I reckon (wider, less overall diameter) as Im a bit skint at the moment and I dont trust the rear tyres (cracked and worn). But we shall see what the figures say. Im enjoying experimenting!
