Mileage per gallon.

Hi to all,

Todays run in the Bedford was 22 miles and that used up one gallon of fuel and I think the air induction fan built into the air filter housing is a great help at full engine running temperature to increase the intake and flow of air into the manifold.

The big picture.

Hi Guy,

It is some times the things that people don't think about that costs them fuel, mainly the way they drive and use the gears but the things that can get overlooked are setting up the brakes and wheel-bearings tyre pressures tracking engine valve and ign.timing valve gaps and clearances points settings and plug gaps.
Making sure they have the best air fuel mixture going into the engine and getting the carb. settings just right and of-cause road speed, people don't listen to their engine's these days and on computerised engine's there is not much point but on these old motors it does pay to.
As a young guy driving my first heavy goods truck I was sent out with an old guy who after about an hour into the journey went off to sleep, then while climbing the next long steep hill a loud voice said "well change the f**king thing down then".
And I now find my self saying the same thing to my son and Grandson forty years on!
