Patrick, how come your DR looks so clean and mine looks like a heap of cr@p already!!
You've pretty much said it all really. I'll be home in a couple of weeks and will stick the original tank back on to check the fuel consumption but when I was in Austalia, I regularly got 23/24kms per litre with the original tank but with the IMS, it never gets above 20kms per litre. The only difference in the tanks is that the IMS doesn't have a vacuum line, other than that, I have no idea why it gets less milage!
It tends to go on to reserve (rather suddenly!) with around 4.5L left but am always running out even though there is still some petrol in the tank. I guess its because its using gravity rather than the vacuum delivery. When the fuel level is low (ie around 3 or 4 L) and in hot situations, I've had it cut out for a few minutes before it cools down a bit and can start it again. Just like when I arrived in Agra after dark during a power outage and had to sit there waiting for it to start again while totally surrounded by hotel touts!
