Long Range Tank Install to Y62 Patrol 

Thanks for answering that question. Makes sense now

Hey, the original sub tank still remains, so I have 100L+40L+120L all up. It will be interesting to see if the back pressure problem is any different, I’m thinking it will probably be the same unfortunately

No, not really

Tune

Negative

QX80’s are pretty rare over here so couldn’t say for sure. It should be very similar though. I bet you could get it to work. Limiting factor will be which tow bar you have

Lots

We are working on this project, should have a result soon

@@DASHOffRoad Cool thanks for replying.

50-60 PSI is the go for my rig

Wowser! How heavy is the ball weight? My ball weight is just over 200kgs and camper 2.6t loaded. But the airbags are only at 25psi. Are your rear springs too soft?

My ball weight is 230kg, I’ve tried it on 30PSI, but 60 is more stable

I’ve got a seperate video on this if you want to know more ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9njYjvMhv84.html

Yup! But now you have enough fuel to sustain the weight for a long time.

Yeah, not winning any eco awards

That’s pretty good! What size tyres?

It's got a 2 inch lift and 285 tyres on it 33 I'm running the six-speed gearbox in it as well and I've only just changed the car into 2 wheel hub but I'm getting an extra 130 km out of a tank at the moment only did that about 2 weeks ago

I thought it would be interesting to compare fuel use by weight for each vehicle so I did a spreadsheet with the three sets of numbers you guys have given and, for comparison I tossed in my wife's forester turbo. The Y62 with trailer (3t), the Y62 without trailer, the 80 series with trailer(2.5t). I've taken the tare mass of each vehicle, added 500kg for accessories, like bars, recovery gear, roof etc.(not the forester - nothing on it) and a further 250kg for payload (a couple of passengers and gear). Very interesting results! The 80 series with trailer gives 3.9L/100km per ton (1000kg), the Y62 with trailer: 5.8l/100km per ton, Y62 without trailer 6.6l/100km per ton and the forester (no trailer) 6.5l/100km per ton. The big difference is between the Y62 with trailer and the 80series with trailer - something like 40% more fuel efficient! According to wikipedia modern petrol engines regardless of make, size are all around the same efficiency, somewhere between 20% - 35%, and for an LS3, Nissan V8 and forester 4 turbo, I expect efficiency differences to be minor so Steven, your air drag on the 80+van must be far superior to Dash's Y62+van. My guess is you run a low profile caravan behind the 80 series without much air drag?? while Dash runs a full height caravan. I can't think of any other main factors to explain the huge difference between the two rigs in l/100km per ton results. The other thing to note is that the caravan in tow actually improves the economy *per ton* of a rig. (Dash's went from 6.6l/100 per ton without trailer to 5.8l/100km per ton with trailer). I guess that is to be expected - that is why trains (rail or road) are so much more efficient than individual vehicles to fuel.

My caravan length is all up 8.6 m long with a simplistic suspension on it I have heard other people using more fuel with the LS Motors I also toe at about 80 km 90 km and I tow in 5th gear not six

@@stevenslade656 Thanks for the extra info Steven. 80 to 90km /hr explains a fair chunk of the savings, as energy required to overcome drag is 64% at 80km/h of the energy required for 100km/h. I don't think the length of the rig makes much difference (I'm sure it makes some difference but small), more so the protrusion above the roof line and the sides of the 80 series. (That is the actual additional area facing the wind). Do you reckon the LS3's are much more efficient than comparable V8's? (I have a sneaking suspicion they are). If so, Y62 owners take note!!!

Yeah, first vid with the new DJI Osmo, need to buy another mic
