Deuce Mileage?

[dc3coyote]

I know this has been brought up before. Heck I read it last week.
There was never an answer theough so I will ask.
What kind of millage does a multifuel get with the different fuels.
Oh yea I read for an hour and a half before I broke down and asked.

I keep records.
Over the past 11,692 miles, my deuce has averaged 7.6 mpg on straight diesel.
Was that any help?

On highway trips I've gotten just over 10mpg at 52mph.( Flat Florida driving )

Thanks

Any body try mix fuels?

RE: Deuce Millage?

should get 10 mpg on diesel, any less probably indicates dirty injectors. at $3.50 / gal i would fix them

RE: Deuce Millage?

I get around 10 to 12 MPG on diesel/ATF mix.

RE: Deuce Millage?

I get 10-12 on diesel, easy running, empty. Less depending on load, hills, terrain..........
I'd say any other fuel will be lower, probably related to the difference in BTU's/gal, as a percentage...........

ATF?, as in automatic trans fluid? or something else?

RE: Re: RE: Deuce Millage?

I get 10mpg in mine (stock tires) at 55mph. Note my deuce is re-powered with an LDS-465-1A.

I drive mine very conservatively and have gotten 13 and sometimes 14 on highway runs. About 9 when I towed the dolly and M 127

Either everybody else is lying, or my Deuce has a problem.
5-6 is normal, have hit 7-8 with with desplined hubs at 45 MPH.

cbvet, 10 is normal so i would say yours is a good candidate for injectors that are not spraying a mist as they should. i would think you would see more black smoke than most people also. timing could be an important issue also and is very easy to check.

RE: Re: RE: Deuce Millage?

Tom,
Non turbo. Does that make a difference in mileage?
Starts great, runs great. It definitely smokes, but I don't have another to compare it to.
I use diesel conditioner regularly. It's supposed to keep the injectors clean, but who knows?
I'll see if I can find timing instructions in the manual.
Thanks,
Eric

RE: Re: RE: Deuce Millage?

im not sure of the numbers but i know i got alot better mileage when i installed locking hubs and the addition of air to the tires. i run 70 psi up front and it helps alot. alos makes it nicer to steer.

 

[FormerNewMVGuy]

RE: Re: RE: Deuce Millage?

Yeah the 70 psi in the fronts is great! I average 10 MPH on the highway with my deuce, and that is mix of clear diesel and the red offroad stuff, about 50%.

RE: Re: RE: Deuce Millage?

yessir, the 70 psi is poor mans power steering

I like that .....

 

[Rebelpride]

I thought I'd read in a TM somewhere that you can put 70psi in the tires. So instead of 50 i can guage them to 70 and be fine, not ill effects?

All of my original ndcc tires say 65 psi max, so I would consider that and their age/condition.

I have new commercial tires on the front of mine and they are at about 100 psi(talk about easy steering)! My rears are at 50 psi.
