Gazelle 406 in detail about fuel consumption
Content
The fuel consumption of the Gazelle 406, the carburetor - data are provided differently in different sources. In the article, we will consider what types of engines are on the Gazelle 406, and how they differ in basic indicators: fuel consumption per hundred kilometers, advantages and disadvantages, factors that affect fuel consumption and how, is it possible to reduce the number of liters of fuel consumed.
Factors on which fuel consumption depends
There are a number of factors affecting the consumption of fuel consumed by a Gazelle car:
- fuel consumption primarily depends on the driver himself;
- timeliness of speed switching;
- frequent stops along the way;
- the proper condition of the car;
- high-quality fuels and lubricants;
- minimal use of additional functions.
| Engine | Consumption (track) | Consumption (city) | Consumption (mixed cycle) |
| 2.2 (gasoline) | Xnumx l / xnumx km | Xnumx l / xnumx km | Xnumx l / xnumx km |
If the speed of movement of the Gazelle corresponds to the permissible parameters, then the problem of increasing the number of liters of gasoline, diesel or gas used can be avoided. You should also limit the number of sudden brakes and starts.
One of the important factors is that when starting to move, it is necessary to switch, as soon as possible, to a higher gear. It will also significantly reduce the use of fuels and lubricants.
If you live in a metropolis, then you should be aware in advance of the presence of traffic jams on your route, since you can stand in traffic jams for several hours. In this case, the Gazelle engine does not turn off and, accordingly, the fuel consumption increases. It is better to choose even a longer road, but, at the same time, you can save on fuel.
What else should you pay attention to?
It is always necessary to keep your vehicle in good condition. All systems and parts must be adjusted, do not emit extraneous noise. If you use two types of fuel at the same time, then you should not turn off the pump, which is responsible for supplying gasoline to the system, in order to prevent the failure of the entire system. Also, you should leave a certain amount of gasoline in the tank so that it is enough for daily warming up of the car. And do not allow the internal parts to dry out.
It should be used, if possible, only recommended by the factories that produced Gazelles, fuels and lubricants. Because if you use materials of lower quality and not intended for this type of engine, then the motor will quickly fail.
Perhaps few people have thought about it and know about it, but moving with the windows open also affects an increase in fuel consumption. Although, if in hot weather you close the windows and use the air conditioner, then the use of the latter increases fuel consumption by more than fifteen percent.
Taking into account all these factors, which in one way or another affect the number of liters of fuel consumed, you can significantly reduce fuel consumption for Gazelles and thereby reduce your costs and save money.
Also important is the following:
- Where do you live - in a metropolis, city or sparsely populated countryside.
- What is the state of your Gazelle.
- Do you use additional devices and devices.
- What climatic conditions do you live in.
How does this affect and how much on fuel consumption
So, if you are a resident of a large city and constantly have to stand in traffic jams for many hours, then be prepared that fuel consumption will increase by more than twenty-five percent. For residents of villages and towns, this figure can increase to only ten percent per hundred kilometers.
At the Gazelle, whose mileage is more than one hundred thousand kilometers, fuel consumption increases by no more than five percent, and for Gazelles, which have more than one hundred and fifty thousand kilometers, fuel and lubricants will be used ten percent more.
The amount of fuel consumed is naturally and often affected by the use of air conditioning, radio, additional heating devices, additional trailers. For example, when using a trailer, fuel consumption figures will increase by two percent.
If you live in very harsh climatic conditions, when the air temperature in the winter season drops to -40 оC, then be prepared for the fact that the consumption increases by more than twenty percent.
Types of engines and fuel consumption
Gazelle 406 come with several engine models, which allows you to choose a more economical car model for fuel consumption. It is also possible to install LPG equipment together with a gasoline engine, which allows the use of two types of fuel.
Main types of engines
The following types of engines are installed on the Gazelle 406:
- Injector. The fuel consumption of ZMZ 406 for the injection Gazelle is minimal in comparison with other types of engines.
- Carburetor.
- Petrol. The most cost effective option. Gazelle gasoline consumption per 100 km within twelve liters.
Fuel consumption for various types of engines
Fuel consumption in the injection Gazelle 406 per 100 km (GAZ 3302) with an engine capacity of 2,3 liters is, according to the standards, eleven liters.
The fuel consumption of a carbureted Gazelle (GAZ 33023 farmer) with an engine volume of 2,2 liters is eleven and a half liters per hundred kilometers. The main disadvantage of the carburetor engine is that it is necessary to spend a large amount of effort and money to install the LPG, which makes it almost impossible to rebuild the VAZ carburetor engine for gas.
Although the gas consumption rates for Gazelle per 100 km can fluctuate up or down depending on external factors.
The actual fuel consumption of a Gazelle in a city can increase significantly depending on the density of population and the condition of the roads. When traffic jams or heavy traffic occurs, the vehicle travels at a slow speed, which leads to increased fuel consumption.
The average fuel consumption of the Gazelle 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 excessive fuel consumption.
Ways to reduce the amount of fuel consumed
Having considered all the points that in one way or another affect the fuel consumption of the Gazelle 406, carburetor, it is necessary to highlight some of the ways that you can use to reduce the amount of fuel consumed. Necessary:
- adhere to the maximum permissible driving speed;
- in addition to the gasoline engine, install LPG, which will allow you to alternately use two types of fuel;
- always keep the car in a technically sound condition;
- prevent malfunctions, check for cracks and breaks all components and parts of the fuel supply system;
- check the fuel tank for integrity, prevent leakage of fuel and lubricants;
- to carry out tuning of the Gazelle after a certain number of kilometers of run stated in the technical passport.
