Can someone tell me how i can limit my fuel consumption at an idle through calterm? The 870 uses almost twice as much fuel idling or just off idle using my crane and or air compressor than it uses driving say 80 miles down the interstate at 70 MPH. It's getting to be a pain stopping around every job site to fuel up to make it home but if i don't let it idle i can what seems drive forever on a load of fuel. Last week i had to use both crane and compressor for a little over two hrs and boom half tank of fuel gone. Also it's been like this forever but even at light throttle shifting through the gears it bellows pretty good black smoke other than that the thing runs great.
