My only issue with my Epica is high fc… so far no prob at all
with mechanical/engine/comfort issues…Not sure TS’s agreement with
hirer on “pump full”? Can be 1) Auto stop 2) After Auto Stop cont
pump full. 3) Pump to brim (shake, shine torch for night). There
may be other methods
My agreemt with relief when driving crown was option 2.. When
change Epica 1st week hv problem …find this option don
work/erratic…Had discussion with relief n both agreed on following
to resolve:
1) Pump Auto Stop (first click)
2) Put diesel recpt for 1 week to see each others fc. After tat
work out formula both can use if emergency cannot pump.
3) Hv common understanding tat for Auto Stop…after start running
abt 50km fuel meter will touch first mark. If very low,,,can tell
each other or take photo show. (so far no need)
4) Hv common understand day shift more consumption cos cold start,
weather hot, more traffic…but night shift Q AP/taxi
stand can be high fc also…hard acceleration …high speed 100-140km
fc escalate…so you know yrself when u do those things expect to
pump more (Epica really see big difference one).
After that no arguments liao…my fc ave 9.0-10/litre never better
than 10/l fr day one to now 6mth +. After servicing still same leh…
Lowest can be 7.5/l special case (massive jam, AP stuck…step oil
hard,etc).
One other thing is pump co diesel seem to give slightly lower
mileage than pump shell? Not sure..
Hi Ken,
many thanks.
Ya drive crown no problem, very accurate. Epica consumption can
be scary.
My epica now beginning got 10.5 Looks like 6 months to a year
later I better prepare for poorer consumption.
Thanks members for all your responses. Can see Epica consumption
level varies a lot and the older it gets will drink more.
Mine last night was 290km/29 l
