scooby dooby doo Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Mr Geek - can you answer me this please? A truck has 400 miles of desert to cross, needs 1 litre of fuel a mile and can only carry 180 litres of fuel. There is a plentiful supply of fuel on this side of the desert (in 1 litre containers) and also on the other side so it can continue its journey. However, there is nobody else to help. how much fuel does it need in total to cross the desert? HOOPY 500 kg (and soon) 200 bhp R706KGU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geek Posted April 11, 2003 Author Share Posted April 11, 2003 >can only carry 180 litres of fuel Please, sir 😳, is this the size of the fuel tank on the truck? Or the number of 1 litre fuel cans that can be carried? Or the total of both? What is the height ASL of this side of the desert? What is the height ASL of the other side of the desert? What is the rolling resistance of the truck? What is the maximum speed of the truck? What is the drag coefficient and frontal area of the truck? Is all the desert surface made of the same material? Does the truck have FI or carbs? Do I have my laptop and interface lead for the ECU with me? When was the last time the truck was RR'd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanB Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 yes, Hoops, I've worked out who Geek is. Not difficult. Now, stop playing with your rivnuts and can working in your slave cubicle, while I luxuriate in my leather armchair at my nice big desk and a room with lots of nice kit in it. Mwaaahahahahahaha!!!!

Geek Posted April 11, 2003 Author Share Posted April 11, 2003 *An* answer is 8748 litres, but I was being lazy and using round numbers for distances so there may be more efficient values.... 🙆🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanB Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 There's already some desert in the south of Spain. Depends how you define Europe - if it includes the 'stans' in the former USSR (technically could be Europe as they're west of the Urals) then there's desert.
