XtremeMarineInc Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Does anyone have, off the top of their head, the capacity of a fuel tank which would be fitted to a series IIA swb? I will be installing a fuel cell in the tub, to get the frame mounted fuel cell out of the way. I don't want anything on the frame which could get punctured. Thanks.

FridgeFreezer Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Green bible lists 45 Litres which is 10 of Her Majesty's Gallons or 12 Freedom Gallons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XtremeMarineInc Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Thanks guys. The fuel cell I am looking at is 17 gallons u.s.. So I will not be looking at losing any capacity. Appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill van snorkle Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 SWB is 10 Imperial, and 12 U.S Gallons (45.0 litres)Les. So my poor average fuel consumption of 10 miles per Imperial gallon translates to an even more outrageous 8.5 mpg if I use Yankee fuel ?

RPR Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Bill, I prefer to use firkins per furlong (fpf). This formula avoids all those pesky Imperial/Metric/Feedom Fries variances and results in a number so meaningless that I don't feel bad about the utter inefficiency of my rig.

So how many FPF's is your rig getting Richard ? How does it compare to 8.5 MPUSG's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marginally better than 8.5 MPG (US) but there's a lot of estimating in there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Sorry to say, but that IS sad. I could get up to 21 Yank MPG on the highway with my Weber. And you lot only pay 14pee a gallon - not fair Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but I am ''Down Under'' and most of the fuel pours out through the filler cap. Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 US Gallons ! Damned colonials, setting up their own weights and measures. Where's my fife and drum, time to teach these upstarts a lesson Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
