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

hi tony yes you can get around boding the lid BUT itll cost you , a hybrid full pump, i have a vertually brand new one cost £800 would like £250, could do the conversion to,pm me

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

Thanks Stu was yours a petrol before and if so did you convert it.

Thanks Tony
