Scag Fuel Consumption - Fuel Injection pays for itself and more!
 The
Scag Turf Tiger is
offered with two fuel-injected, liquid-cooled engine options, a 29hp
Kawasaki DFI (Digital Fuel Injection) and a 31hp Kohler EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection).
Both engines, while high in horsepower output, consume less fuel
than some smaller carbureted, air-cooled engines.Fuel-injected, liquid-cooled engines do cost more initially however that initial premium can be paid back rather quickly. Not only are you reducing your operating costs and increasing profitability, but you are burning less fuel and that is good for the environment. Liquid-cooled engines typically last longer than air-cooled engines, providing additional value. Fuel injection gives additional benefits with choke-free operation and easy cold-weather starting. These are high-performance engines and deliver lots of horsepower to get the job done faster and easier. Calculate your current fuel cost per year by entering in your hours and weeks per year of operation, how much fuel your current engine uses and the cost of fuel in your area. The "With Fuel Injection" field will populate using your data at a consumption rate of 1.6 gallons per hour. This is a quick way to see the difference a fuel injected engine could make to your bottom line. The following tables display fuel consumption comparisons of several engines we offer on the Turf Tiger. |
