Gazelle UMP 4216 in detail about fuel consumption
Content
In this article, you will learn about the fuel consumption of a Gazelle Business with an UMZ 4216 engine and its technical characteristics. Starting from the beginning of 1997, the Ulyanovsk plant began to manufacture engines with increased power. The first was UMZ 4215. The diameter of the internal combustion engine (ICE) was 100 mm. Later, in 2003-2004, an improved model called UMP 4216 was released, which became even more environmentally friendly.
The UMZ 4216 model was installed in GAZ vehicles. Almost every year, this internal combustion engine was upgraded and eventually raised to the level of the Euro-4 standard. Starting from 2013-2014, UMZ 4216 began to be installed on Gazelle Business cars.
| Engine | Consumption (track) | Consumption (city) | Consumption (mixed cycle) |
| 2.8d (diesel) | - | 8.5 l / 100 km | - |
| 2.9i (petrol) | 12.5 l / 100 km | 10.5 l / 100 km | Xnumx l / xnumx km |
engine Specifications
Specifications UMP 4216, fuel consumption. This engine is a four-stroke, it includes four pieces of the cylinder, which have an in-line arrangement. Fuel, namely gasoline, should be filled with AI-92 or AI-95. Let's take a closer look at the technical characteristics of the UMP 4216 for the Gazelle:
- the volume is 2890 cm³;
- standard piston diameter - 100 mm;
- compression (degree) - 9,2;
- stroke of the piston - 92 mm;
- power - 90-110 hp
The cylinder head (cylinder head) is made of steel, namely aluminum. The weight of the Gazelle engine is about 180 kg. A power unit goes to the engine, on which additional equipment is fixed: a generator, a starter, a water pump, drive belts, etc.
What affects the fuel consumption of a Gazelle
Let's determine how the fuel consumption of the UMP 4216 Gazelle occurs, what affects it:
- Type and style of driving. If you accelerate hard, accelerate to a speed of 110-130 km / h, test the car at high speed, all this contributes to a large amount of gasoline consumption.
- Season. For example, in winter it takes a lot of fuel to heat the car, especially if you drive short distances.
- ICE. Fuel consumption of gas diesel engines is less than that of gasoline diesel engines.
- The volume of the internal combustion engine. The larger the volume of the cylinder in the engine, the higher the cost of gasoline.
- Machine and engine condition.
- Workload. If the car is running empty, then its fuel consumption is low, and if the car is overloaded, then fuel consumption increases.
How to determine fuel consumption
What do the numbers depend on?
Gazelle fuel consumption rates. They are recorded in liters per 100 kilometers. The values that the manufacturer provides are conditional, since everything depends on the ICE model and the way you drive. If you look at what the manufacturer offers us, then the internal combustion engine is 10l / 100 km. BUT the average fuel consumption on the highway at the Gazelle will range from 11-15 l / 100 km. As for the ICE model we are considering, the gasoline consumption of the Gazelle Business UMZ 4216 per 100 km is 10-13 liters, and the actual fuel consumption of the Gazelle 4216 per 100 km is 11 to 17 liters.
How to measure consumption
Usually, the fuel consumption of a car is measured under such conditions as: a flat road without holes, bumps and an appropriate speed. Manufacturers themselves do not take into account many factors when measuring RT, for example: gasoline consumption, or how warm the engine is, the load on the car. Often, manufacturers give a figure lower than the real one.
In order to better know what the exact fuel consumption is, how much it needs to be poured into the fuel tank, it is necessary to add 10-20% of this figure to the figure obtained. Gazelle cars have different engine models, therefore, they also have different standards.
How to reduce consumption
Many drivers pay great attention to fuel consumption, trying to save money. For example, if your business is to transport things, then fuel can take a fairly large share of the income. Let's define what are the ways to save money:
- Use the vehicle normally. No need to drive at high speeds and hard on the gas. There are situations when it is necessary to urgently deliver an order, then this method of saving fuel will not work.
- Install a diesel engine. There is a lot of controversy about this, some believe that installing a diesel engine is an excellent way out of the situation, while others are against replacement.
- Install the gas system. This option is the best for saving fuel. Although there are cons in the transition to gas.
- Install a spoiler on the cab. This method also helps to save fuel, since the fairing tends to reduce the resistance of oncoming air.
Pay attention to how the fuel system is set up, whether everything is in order with it. Check tire pressure once a month.
Hack and predictor Aviator
In this article, we examined the UMP 4216 on the Gazelle Business, where we detailed its technical characteristics. If we compare this model with its predecessor, we can conclude that the unit does not differ in size from UMP 4215. Even the parameters and properties remain the same, and the volume is 2,89 liters. This engine was for the first time reinforced with parts from foreign manufacturers. Imported spark plugs were installed on the engine, a throttle position sensor was added, as well as fuel injectors. As a result, the quality of work has improved and the service life has increased.
