Swapped out the mpg nozzle on my snow mpg/max kit.
Standard is 175 iirc, and I put in a 275.
Filled up today in Wind Gap PA and ran i80 all the way to I69 in IN and filled up again.
Before filling up I plugged in efi and it showed 14 gallons remaining from my 34 gallon tank. Actually took 23.5 gallons for 573 miles for 24.3mpg. And about 7-8 gallons of 15%meth
Not my best mpg, but a good starting point.
Might get a bit better coming out of winter fuel and if I could get my cruise control working again. I find myself speeding often with no cruise.
BTW the trip took about a total of 8.5 hours time. Stopped for about 20 minutes at exit 42 in PA. (What, I went to Subway), and again for about 15 minutes at one of the service plazas in OH. So my avg speed was at least 70.
Meth was set to come on at 0 and max 100% at 10 psi. Works good on the eway just dont forget to turn up the on point if you get into traffic or off the eway and idle at a stop.
Tune on the ecm was almost stock. Idle was turned down to 650/660 cant remember which. open vanes at idle. And a mild turbo brake, starts slowing the truck at about 1500-1600 rpms and down to 1000 rpm
Oh ok cool. I probably shoulda just googled it ha
interested to see your results, I am doing a diesel swap and my ultimate goal is highest mpg possible.
Truck is a 2007 chevy silverado classic 3500, crew cab, long bed, 2 wheel drive with Banks 6 gun, Banks Intake with the super scoop and the Banks boost tube. EGR is blocked. Diamond eye downpipe into 4inch straight piped exhaust. Snow Stage 3 MPG-MAX water/meth injection. Tonneau cover. I think the truck is almost broke in with about 247,000 miles on it now.
Ok I did the first trip with the bigger nozzle and had 'normal' consumption, then added the psi gauge and found the tank filter was clogged.
Cleaned the filter and made a few more trips. While I really like the extra cooling from the 275 as my mpg nozzle that thing is thirsty. I couldn't get the consumption below 7 gallons in 200 miles. The most consumption was the entire 7 gallon tank in just over 100 miles!! It was nice moving down the highway with 7-8000 lbs at egts staying in the 800's.
So I'm pulling the 275 out. It was an interesting experiment
put in a 100 ml nozzle for the mpg nozzle now. See what it does
