Cheers, Mick.

Hey Mick, I think my Carryall tank is only 45L. Not too sure about fuel economy. Cheers, DW

The above is for a standard 2 door perentie. The tank on the wagon has a modification so the 2nd row passenger floor fits. The modification means the tank holds probably 5 lt less. However the filler tube is longer and so the tube holds more fuel compared to a tube on a 2 door.

i did a run from full to empty with my survey and got just under 600 kms out of the 63L tank. so i got roughly 10l/100kms. i suspect i would get better on highway miles

cheers,

Over the last 3800km, I have averaged 12.16l/100km in my FFR. A mix of highway, suburban and a few days off road, but predominately drag racing taxis at traffic lights and other suburban delights.

My Personnel carrier averages 10l/100km.
I have to hold back on the reins or she wants to bolt all the time on the open road.

Speaking of tanks, I reckon get about 10l per 100k too... but what's the purpose/importance of the looped pipe that comes up from the fuel tank and sits directly behind the drivers side in the trayback section of a FFR.

Also, what would be the impacts if this pipe was cut or buckled?

That's the fuel tank breather, it exhausts into a little sock under the body work.
If cut you'd get fuel spilling out of the cut location if overfilled. If buckled/blocked off you'd get burping when filling the tank and potentially suck the tank in due to vacuum when running.

The pipe is to cover your feet in diesel when you try to fill it to the top.
