A full tank is 70kg Jon.. if you go for a pish, you will save more weight at least another half kilo, if you then have a crap and make your groundy walk home you'll save another 80.5 kg and it will go like shite off a shovel..

There is a reason older diesels have power surges when they run low on fuel. A small gulp of air sends the internals of the pump crazy, the advance and fuel metering goes haywire momentarily which is why they rev so high prior to conking out.

It's a Landrover john be grateful it goes :001_smile:

Probably a combination of warm fuel getting through the lift pump better and moving through the filters easier. Warm fuel burns easier and better.Possibly breather restricted. As said less weight of fuel.
