General query about fuel range. How far do you get out of your standard tank (how many liters is it) and what size is your engine.
Cheers

1963 morris 850, A+series 1275, elec dizzy, HIF44 1" 3/4 carby, all standard.
Around 240km between fills (15-18L) or around 6-7L per 100km.
Doing a lot of town driving and some highway driving as well, most gear changes are around 5000+rpm so It's hard driving.

Morris 1100 (UK) 808 kg
Morris 1100 (UK) Traveller 825 kg
Morris 1100 & 1300 (UK) Auto 839 kg
Morris 1100 (Aust) 695 kg (I'd say this figure is incorrect - but don't shoot the messenger :twisted: probably meant to be 795 kg)
Morris 1100S (Aust) 839 kg
Morris 1100 S (Aust) Auto 864 kg

But the maximum roof load is only 45 kg :shock:

Which book has the wrong figure for the Australian 1100? :lol: My workshop manual does not give a weight for the aussie 1100 but all the others match your figures.

The handbook for the Australian 1100 gives 839kg for the 1100 and 1100S and 857kg for the 1100Auto.
I love the way that the workshop manual and the owners handbook usually contradict each other! :lol:

That's what I thought. I was flicking through the pages in the same sequence as you had written them down and when I got to the Australian 1100 my book has no listed weight. :lol:
So which book is older, the one with no figure or the one with the wrong figure? :? :lol:
