Altered Sprinter
Happy Little Vegemite
This fuel variation in UK and US gallons is driving me nuts honest
we are dealing with different fuel tank capacity's as well
OK, can we get a math expert to work this out
Mercedes-Benz has two only tanks in the Sprinters a 75 litre tank and a 100 litre tank long range tank, end of story, full stop, there are no other's OK.
However here is where the complication sets in VW Crafter has an eighty litre tank , thinking maybe the US sprinter has this switched over modification for extra fuel capacity if this makes sense.However dodge says 20 US Gallons or to be precise 19.8 US gallons
one litre, is metric there are no variations to the metric conversion of a litre in volume.
UK Gallon =4.546.09 liters----= 16.5 Imperial gallons based on 75 liters
US Gallon =3.7.85 liters --= 19.8 US gallons based on 75 liters
ON average around town on My 2005 313 CDi Manual Sprinter loaded to the max =3,5 tonne averaged out at 900 Ks not miles, Kilometers 900Ks on three consecutive trips.
Each time the vehicle was toped up it took between 70 to 72 liters per tank, based on trip readings from zero to 900Ks.
I'll settle for an average of 72 liters of ULSD fuel used for a trip recording of 900 Ks
What is your calculation for US gallons based on 3.7.85 liters per US gallon converted to MPG?
A Canadian gallon is imperial therefore based on a UK gallon it is 4.546.09 liters exact = one imperial Canadian gallon.
The Canadian site for Dodge says 20 gallons as its a US configured Sprinter this means its 20 US gallon capacity there is no difference in the two with the exception of gallons versus liters. Versus US and imperial gallons.
Unit Conversions
Fuel quality varies, road and load conditions vary, engine size ! a 313CDi Versus a 414 CDi !! it can't return the same millage figures, that's impossible.
Three possiable fuel returns CDB Urban and Hi=way will return different mileage.
combine light traffic with both urban and hi-way plus CDB will return will also return an Urban figure providing the roads are flat
I know we have been through this before but something just does not ring true.
