My Saga LMST (year 2007) has been sucking up the fuel like a thirsty bear recently. The problem came after the engine started to 'buat hal'. After switch off, the engine would not stop immediately, instead shake for few more seconds only stop. From then on, fuel consumption became very high, from 14km/L to 8km/L. Switched from Shell to Caltex, and sent the car to workshop, service and tuning auto choke, everything back to normal with slightly high rpm, and fuel consumption for the recent tank is 11.4km/L.
I have few concerns:
1) Is 11.4km/L consider ok? 90% city drive. I don't want to sound silly to go back to the workshop, though if the high rpm persist I might need to send back.
2) The fuel capacity for LMST is 45 L right? There's one time I refuel, the fuel insert until 45.12L but the gun didn't stop or anything! I suspect it's the gun's problem. That tank only lasted me 430km (before repair)
1) manual or auto? engine capacity? (1.3 or 1.5) carburetor or fuel injection?
high rpm will definitely consume more fuel, if carb, you can consider tuning the idle yourself via guide from saga/iswara thread or google image.
auto idle is ~850-900 while manual is ~800-850
2) yes, that is correct. if you suspect is the gun issue, consider changing other stations. also the 45liters is only the tank, and the minor "overfill" could possibly be the tubes/passageway. btw, did it spill out from the fuel port?
