Decrease in fuel efficiency after experiencing depletion of fuel

[ravelcop]

guys, first time ko nakaranas na naubos ang fuel ko, as in tumirik ang ride ko sa daan. after refilling, it started normally naman but i noticed na my fuel efficiency has changed. mas lumakas ang lamon sa gas. anung service ang dapat kong ipagawa to my van?

[jim]

ala ba leak??? ano kulay ng usok mo???

yung nauubusan baka may leak yung fuel line mo di mo lang napapansin.

[BlueBimmer]

delicado yan baka cmulan ng sunog kng may leak

[ravelcop]

actually, naubusan ako coz i did not go for a refuel kahit nagfu-fuel warning na. and i was caught up sa traffic so nung dumaan ako sa papaakyat na road, dun na sya nalagutan. it was expected after all

mukhang wala namang leak and for the smoke, normal din. i also notice na parang mas mabigat na ang takbo ko and sometimes im experiencing a very slight "kadyot" when accelerating

ah ok. meron kasing reserve ang fuel tanks natin. kahit may fuel low warning na meron pang reserve. nung naubusan ka as in totally nagamit mo pati yung reserve fuel. nung nagpakarga ka syempre pupunta yung ibang fuel sa reserve (reservoir) kaya tingin mo ma s tumaas konsumo mo. babalik din yan sa normal. pakarga ka ulit.

[ravelcop]

yeah, i understand about the fuel reserve coz i've been playing with the low fuel warning light ever since. sometimes tumatakbo pa ko ng 40km after the low warning has been lit. its just that time was the first time na naubos talaga ang fuel. as in kinailangan ko pang magpa-tow papuntang gas station. napa-refill ako ng marami-rami hanggang sa hindi na sya nag low fuel warning. tumuntong sya ng isang guhit sa fuel gauge. after that incident, talagang pansin ko yung paglakas ng fuel consumption and kakaibang takbo ng van ko. parang mas bumigat ang hatak and sometimes a very little "kadyot" during acceleration

check your fuel filter at malamang yung deposits eh napunta dun. Kumakadyot kamo? Usually ang solution is linisin ang fuel filter or palitan kung di puwede linisin. Yung isa pang solution sa kadyot is tune up. Most likely linis lang ng fuel filter yan coz nasagad kamo.

[yebo]

diesel ba? baka nasira injector nozzles mo?

[ravelcop]

kakapalit ko lang kase ng fuel filter last month, pwede kayang linisin yun? its a plastic one, and i dont think pwede syang buksan. how about the fuel lines? yung carburetor, wala ba kong ipaparepair dun?

[geebunny]

Pa check mo na lang sa mechanic. Baka yung mga dumi ng tanke napunta na sa filter at nagbabara na.

[wax]

Diesel ba van mo? Baka kinakabagan lang meaning may hangin sa fuel line. You can try i-bleed fuel line mo thru the injector para mawala hangin.

[ravelcop]

sir wax,

carburetor po ang van ko.

[wax]

I see. Possible that you have to change your fuel filters. You can also try to have your carburetor cleaned or serviced baka kasi nagbara sa loob.

[cowboytuna]

in my case, nagpalit lng ako ng fuel filter den back to normal na. :D

check your air filter, ignition timing, tire pressure, spark plugs & wires. also your carburetor might be running rich or has worn jets.

[vinz]

I suggest you try the accetone trick. Same din kasi tayo ng problem before & the accetone did the trick & the good thing is halos wala akong nagastos.

[buknoy2002]

kung plastic lang fuel filter mo, di ba mura lang yon?

i believe wala pa 500p? so mura lang magpalit

[ravelcop]

ok na mga bro! pina-vacuum ko lang yung fuel filter.

Yung mabigat na takbo nya, the mechanic told me about the angle of the contact point. Ano po dapat adjustment for Vanette?

[buknoy2002]

pano vacuum ang fuel filter?
