Weaponxr Donating Members 624 Member For: 14y 14d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 06/08/11 03:58 AM Share Posted 06/08/11 03:58 AM I found this strange after fitting a walbro pump into my bf xr6 turbo that my fuel economy has gone from 14.7l/100kms to about 14.3l/100kms, after a week or so of driving it slowly changed down to what it is now.Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or is it just one of those strange unexpected things.Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
