So to answer my question say you get 250bhp out of it what mpg will you get.

lets get this right mate you started having a go first mate i answered a thread question and to answer your question id still prob see 26mpg which is only when i hit boost as the engines performance is geared to 100bgp normally unless on boost, 26 is more than you boys get

Not having a go, just wondered :smiley:

btw my petrol does more.

The tuning box on the pump will just over-ride the electronic governor meaning it won't govern the amount of fuel going in to the engine.

Oh and using bio fuel long term and high concentration (i.e. B50 or higher) is not such a hot idea as the old mechanical pumps does not have the seals package that is designed to allow biofuel running. Would keep an eye on all of the seals in the fuel system if I was you bud.

dont need to worry my pump has just been reubilt and had different seals fitted so it can run 100% if wanted but obviously only in summer

If you are running as high as you say, just be aware of cavities in the pipes/pumping head, and also the injectors laquering as well. :wink:
