Hello everybody,

I just want to ask about Mini's fuel consumption. I understand that it depends on a number of factors but your rough average is appreciated. I'm currently getting only around 150km per RM20 of regular fuel (13sen/km or 9.4L/100km) with my 1978 Clubman 1000 (M). This is as much as my 1996 Wira 1.5GL (M) for similar driving conditions :( Perhaps after the next service and some tuning things will get better B) .. coz the engine is from a halfcut I got about 1000+ km ago.

Thanks in advance and have fun with your Minis :D

Hi 4G15mini,

From what you've described & given.. yr current consumption is quiet ok actually.. but you have to see what carb, jettings & fuel richness it's currrently running on.. Is it a 1-1/2 SU or a 1-3/4 SU, twin SU's, HS, HIF types or even DCOE webber 40's, 42's & 45's! hahahaha... :lol:

Usually the later Mini engines come with HIF or HS-4 type carb... ;)

But i think with a good carb service & tuning, yr consumption would be a bit better.. Also, do check yr plugs and see if they're wet & black at the firing area.. if so, yr carb is running rich (burning extra fuel) if it's brownish, it's perfect lah... You can do this after changing to a new sets of plugs & a lap or two around yr house or workshop.. :P

bad970,
cannot change the tank coz cant get one! mokes use different tank than minis.

anyway, ur point abt it being dangerous to weld is a good one. that's why the whole day today, the tank ws left to dry under the sun. i drove mokey till the fuel tank ws nearly empty, then took it out, pour as much as possible the remaining fuel into a container and left it to dry.

tomorrow, welding time - hopefully shops in seremban are open already after CNY break.

Fastclubman- No prob. Let me know if ur car is ready.

Suresh- Mini moke fuel tank can be done by handmade. Done it before on mini van fuel tank. Superb. Like the factory made.

Hey All!

On the 6th of march 2005 (Sunday) there's a charity event organised by the vintage club of malaysia... B)

It's a lunch thingy for the homeless, less fortunate, old folks, disabled etc.

All those with vintage or classic cars & bikes are invited to join in... Meeting place is most likely 'Gaazeebo' Subang at about 9am that morning..

Then the convoy of classic & vintage cars would leave to a restaurant in Port Klang escorted by police outriders.

We'll have to ferry them (kids & adults) in our cars or bikes there and have lunch (sponsored of course) with them... (It's a sea food lunch)

The whole idea is association, having fun, + we can check out some cool cars & bikes and also get to spend some time with the less fortunate kids & adults...

For those interested, please do call me at: 012 223 1889 - Shashi. :ph34r:

Come on guys! lets spread some love & do some good k! :D

aircond
brake servo
10"disc brakes assembly
Sumpguard
10'' polished mercury rims
Fully carpetted with soundproofing
