Hi Guys,
I'm from "Down Under" where the grass grows when it rains (sometimes).
Recently I bought a new Toro MX4800, $AU 8,800.
I has a Kohler V2, 21hp, model ZT720 motor.
The fuel tank is not sufficient to do 8 or 9 hours mowing, it holds 18.9 litres of fuel, re-filling is a pain in the bum as the filler cap is quite small, about 60mm in dia and you cannot see the fuel level rising in the tank unless you stop pouring and look at the sight gauge on the front.
Re-filling when the motor is hot is a definite health hazard !
Q: Any clues on improving fuel consumption ?
On this model, Toro have seen fit to fit "wing tanks" over each drive wheel but they are cosmetic as no provision to hold any fuel.
A reserve supply would be a great asset.
I am looking for a LHS "wing tank" off a wrecked Toro or some other make that I could adapt to provide an additional 5 litres (1.3 gal in your lingo).
Q: Anyone got any ideas on this subject ?
Appreciate your considered responses.
Cheers,
BunyipOz
