What is the hourly fuel consumption of a 240 horsepower diesel engine at idle?
1 Answers
240 horsepower diesel engine consumes 12L/100km at idle. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Avoid using inferior gasoline: The quality of inferior gasoline directly affects fuel consumption, easily clogging fuel lines and causing incorrect air-fuel ratio. This results in overly rich mixture that gets exhausted without complete combustion, leading to increased fuel consumption. Therefore, when conditions permit, always choose reputable gas stations for refueling. 2. Clean engine carbon deposits: Excessive carbon deposits in the engine is a major cause of high fuel consumption. If there are significant carbon deposits in the engine, it's best to take the vehicle to a 4S shop for professional cleaning by technicians.
