Why Is My Suzuki Khyber Losing Fuel Faster Than Usual—Is the Fuel Cap to Blame?

Some Khyber owners report unusually fast fuel consumption without any visible leaks. Could a faulty o r non-sealing fuel cap be causing fuel evaporation, and how can it be tested o r replaced?

Yes, a damaged o r loose fuel cap can allow petrol to evaporate, especially in hot weather. While you may not see physical leaks, fuel vapor loss can lead to a in mileage over time.

Signs the Cap May Be the Cause:

No fuel leak but mileage feels lower

Strong smell of petrol near the tank

Cap doesn’t screw in tightly o r makes no sealing click

Fix:

Replace the cap with a genuine o r good-quality aftermarket one

Avoid using makeshift caps o r universal covers that don’t fit properly
