Fuel leak
Check and arrest fuel leak if any, from tank,
carburettor and fuel lines. Loss of fuel due to leak may
drain the fuel tank completely.
Evaporation
Vehicle parked in the hot sun leads to wastage of fuel
through evaporation. Also, lower fuel levels in the
t a n k w i l l h a v e i n c r e a s e d e v a p o r a t i o n a n d
condensation of moisture inside, which may result in
rusting of the tank.
Ensure to close fuel tank cap after every filling. If the
fuel tank cap kept open for long time it leads to fuel
loss and safety problems.
Tyres
Low tyre pressure has adverse effect on the vehicle.
The drag on the vehicle increases resulting in
decreased fuel economy. Further more, handling
may be adversely affected.
Inspect the tyre pressure regularly (weekly) and
inflate it to the recommended pressure (refer page
no. 44). Never use tyres which are worn beyond the
permissible limit.
Wheel freeness
Inspect and ensure the wheel freeness by rotating the
wheels at least once in a week to avoid wastage of
fuel.
Fast starting from rest wastes fuel
A racing start from rest at full throttle can waste fuel
and damage the engine. It also creates a potentially
dangerous traffic situation.
Fast acceleration wastes fuel
Fuel is wasted whenever you suddenly accelerate or
apply brake.
Avoid unnecessary idling
While waiting for someone or stopping in signals for
long time, if the engine is kept running at idle speed,
it causes unnecessary wastage of fuel.
Avoid frequent braking
Anticipate corners and slopes as well as the traffic
conditions. Unnecessary and frequent braking will
reduce the fuel economy.
