Gazelle 405 in detail about fuel consumption
Content
The fuel consumption of the Gazelle 405 (injector) depends primarily, of course, on the quality of the fuel itself. Below we consider the factors that affect fuel consumption, how they affect the amount of fuel consumed, how it will be possible to reduce large consumption rates, and what type of fuel is best used on the Gazelle.
Gazelle 405 injector: characteristics, operating features
On a Gazelle 405 car with an injector engine, a new fuel supply system is installed, which allows you to more economically consume and distribute fuel.hotter. Let us consider the main qualitative characteristics of this engine model, the principles of operation, and also determine the advantages and disadvantages of using an injection fuel supply system.

Principles of operation of the injection motor
An injector is a special system for injecting fuel into a car engine. Unlike the system of operation of a carburetor engine, fuel is forced into the cylinder with the help of nozzles. Because of these features, cars with such systems are called injection.
When the engine is in working condition, the controller receives information about such indicators as:
- position and speed of the crankshaft;
- antifreeze temperature;
- vehicle speed;
- all the unevenness of the roadway;
- malfunctions in the motor.
As a result of analyzing all the received data, the controller controls the following systems and mechanisms:
- gasoline pump;
- ignition system;
- diagnostic system;
- fan system, which is responsible for cooling the car.
Due to the fact that the system is controlled by the program, injection parameters are changed instantly, which allows many functions and data to be taken into account.
Advantages and disadvantages
Unlike carbureted engines, engines with an injection control system can reduce fuel consumption, simplify and improve the quality of engine control. Gazelle, meet all the requirements for the composition of exhaust gases. There is no need to manually adjust the fuel supply system.
But, there are some disadvantages of using injection engines: a significantly high price, in the event of a breakdown it is not always repairable, the fuel should only be of high quality. If there is little experience in repairing Gazelle cars, then it requires constant contact with special service stations, which leads to additional costs.
What factors influence fuel consumption?
The main factors affecting fuel consumption on a Gazelle with a 405 engine are:
- driver behavior while driving;
- periodically check the condition of the wheels. Let there be more pressure in the wheels than its lack;
- engine warm-up time;
- additional parts that drivers often put on the car body;
- technical condition of the car;
- an empty car consumes less fuel than a loaded one;
- the inclusion of a large number of additional equipment.
What can be changed
Fuel consumption will increase significantly if you constantly exceed the permissible driving speed, often start off sharply, while accelerating very quickly or pressing the brake pedal sharply.
If you are driving short distances, then if possible, do not turn off the car engine, as the constant switching on and off at short intervals leads to an increase in fuel consumption.
If the car is in a technically faulty condition, then the engine does not work at full capacity and the fuel simply, as they say, "flies out into the pipe."
Auxiliary parts such as a stove, radios or other audio systems, air conditioners, constantly on headlights, wipers, even the use of winter tires affect fuel consumption. TFor example, turning on the high beam increases the amount of fuel consumed by the Gazelle by more than ten percent, using the air conditioner for a long time - by 14%, and driving with open windows at a speed exceeding 60 km / h - by more than 5%.
From the foregoing, we can conclude that before asking why the consumption of gasoline on your Gazelle has increased, analyze all your actions related to the operation of the vehicle, check the car’s engine, inspect the fuel tank, and, if possible, fix all problems, reduce minimize the number of factors affecting fuel consumption.
Fuel consumption for various engines
The fuel consumption of Gazelles with different types of engines is insignificant, but still different. As already mentioned, the number of consumed liters is affected by a number of external factors - the roughness of the roadway, the presence of traffic jams, climatic conditions, the use of a large amount of various auxiliary parts inside the car body, and much more.
Different sources of information indicate different data on the fuel consumption of the Gazelle 405, injector. With an engine capacity of 2,4 liters, the average fuel consumption rate ranges from eleven liters per hundred kilometers. But, when using two types of fuel, this figure can be significantly reduced.
Gasoline consumption at the Gazelle ZMZ 405 per 100 km is about twelve liters. But, this indicator is relative, since it can change under different operating conditions.
When traffic jams or heavy traffic occurs, the vehicle moves at a slow speed, which leads to an increase in fuel consumption.
The average fuel consumption on the highway is within the declared norms, since here it is possible to adhere to the speed limit. And if your car is not too loaded, and you adhere to all the rules for using additional devices, then you should not worry about significant fuel consumption.
For example, Gazelle's business, due to the introduction of more advanced technologies, has reduced fuel consumption by more than five percent. And in a Gazelle car with a euro engine, due to an increase in engine size, even less fuel is consumed, compared to other models.
How to reduce fuel consumption
Having figured out what the Gazelle 405 fuel consumption rates are and comparing them with the fuel consumption indicators of your car, if you exceed them, you can significantly reduce the amount of fuel consumed per 100 kilometers by adhering to just a few rules. Should:
- timely check all systems and components of the Gazelle and carry out their repairs in time;
- use only high-quality fuels and lubricants and fuel;
- adhere to the basic rules for operating the Gazelle 405 with an injection engine;
- in the absence of sufficient experience in servicing injection engines, contact the service station specialists;
- reduce to a minimum the use of air conditioning, high beams and all other additional devices;
- to carry out tuning of the Gazelle after a certain number of kilometers.
