1.9 TD

Post by **tonysbus** » 27 Jun 2006, 17:07

What kind of mpg should i expect in a westy hightop with a 1.9 TD and does it foul the engine lid . Thinking of converting from a petrol.

Thank's Tony

i get about 30 - 34 mpg depending on driving conditions and the engine lid needs moding over the pump by raising it about 20mm.

Thanks Stu is there no way round raising the engine lid.

Thanks Tony

you don't need to raise the whole lid just cut out a hole above fuel pump and make a raised section out of thin sheet metal or glass fibre
