Evening,
Just got my '65 BJ8 back from an extended stay at a body/paint shop. Old En=
glish white with a red interior. It looks great.
Problem is, I ran out gas. =C2=A0My trip Odo said 98 miles, I can usually g=
o around 150 and, talking to a friend, he said he can go 200 miles on a tan=
k.
The car seems to run fine, not missing, no black smoke.
Any ideas why my milage dropped 30% and should I be getting 200 miles on a =
fill-up?
I don't smell gas in the garage, but I will be checking for leaks in the mo=
rning.=C2=A0

What did your gas gauge indicate?

Over 150K miles and 3 engine builds, my BJ8 has gotten:

- 23-24 MPG highway (55-65MPH)

- 18 MPG highway (65MPH+)

- 15 MPG city/stop-and-go

Hi Greg -

You might want to check the bottom of your HD8s and make sure it isn't
leaking fuel.  Do you smell fuel?  If you do it probably means the jet
diaphragms have failed from sitting in the paint shop too long.

Alternatively check for sticky choke levers.

Best,

Alan

Hi Greg,  I regularly get over 20 mpg in my BT7, so something is wrong.  =
If what you are saying that you only got 98 miles on full tank of gas, =
something is seriously amiss.  Is it possible that when your car was in =
the shop some fuel was drained from the tank for some reason?

I like the (dried out/split) diaphragms theory. I don=E2=80=99t know =
what your spray shops do but ours, UK, almost bake the new paint onto =
the car. ie the car sits in a hot and very dry environment.

We bought a BJ8 over to France from North Virginia. The car =
hadn=E2=80=99t run for a while, quite a while at a guess. We took the =
train down to the port and got to the car. First off, it was an absolute =
pig to start and, when it did finally run after a jump start from an =
electric fork lift(!), it wouldn=E2=80=99t keep going without a lot of =
throttle. Rush hour in Paris was a nightmare but we got it home. Next =
day, we switched on the ignition and fuel was absolutely peeing out of =
the carbs. The run from port to garage seemed to have exacerbated the =
issue. Anyhow, two new diaphragms sorted it.
