Is it safe to have the electric hook-up so close to the fuel tank ?? |

Hiya,
Following on from removing, resealing and refitting the side windows I lifted the roof and fitted new side seals. It's now dry (in the back 😁). Click image to enlarge I then insulated roof, sides and seat boxes with foil backed 7mm foam, run cables in for interior lights and a couple of USB sockets. I then carpeted. For the floor I fitted some thin foam (for under laminate flooring) and then 6mm rubber sheet. Next came a couple of boards (hinged and attached to the bulkhead so that they concertina up to give me the full load bay if needed) and some cushions made with waterproof covers. I can now have either a small seat, a large seat or a full bed. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge On a roll, I changed the gearbox oil, engine oil and both filters and checked the diffs. I fueled up, added a wife, dog and camping gear then drove from Cumbria to Folkestone, Chunnel to France, up through Northern France, Belgium and into the Netherlands. Spent a few days in a cabin on the edge of a Forrest. Very nice. Click image to enlarge I noticed that we were only 30 odd miles from Germany so we drove over the border to a town called Goch but it was raining so hard the wife refused to leave the Landy. I took the dog out for a wee and we drove back. Came home via the Amsterdam - Newcastle ferry. Ted had a wee in the UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany in 6 days. Ted and myself both had a dump in the middle of the North Sea (I used a toilet). Total driven distance was 1022 miles and 138.95 litres of fuel used. 33.43 mpg sitting at between 60 and 70 mph on the motorways/dual carriageways (Lots of stop/start on the M25 and the Antwerp ring road 🙄). Landy didn't miss a beat. I'm one happy bunny....👍👍👍 2002 Land Rover 110 Td5 Utility 1990 Suzuki GSXR 1100L 1980 Yamaha RD 350LC 1976 Yamaha RD 400C |

In relation to the above - has anyone done any experiments on tyre pressures vs. fuel consumption..?? Just wondering if more road biased, thinner tyres at a higher pressure (currently on AT 265/75's @ 33 psi on all corners) would see me get 35+ mpg...??
