Thread: Tank Size

I have never got down low enough yet to get the fuel light to come on. Most I've put in was 87L and the guage was down to maybe 1/4 tank left or a bit less, with no fuel warning light showing ... yet I can drive 200-300k's before the needle moves off full ... 500km by 1/2 ...

... what this is all telling me is that the D2 fuel guage is anything but accurate ... at the above rates & guage positions, I should run-out of diesel BEFORE the guage gets to zero

I guess I need to get it low enough to get the fuel light to come on, then fill and see how many litres I can get in (I always squeeze fill until it's up to the top of the filler neck) ... but 9L left for a fuel light ON ... makes me worried about running out when least expected as with an 87L fill, I should have had 8L left ... but no fuel light

and from light on--
I get about 35kays then-

but my fuel gauge doesnt move for the first 100 kays,,,

Same, about 80-90k mark the guage starts to move, well actually plummet.

Interesting with the tank size, I don't have a LR book in my D2 so I could'nt check, however I would say my light is coming on earley then, as I am only ever putting in 80-85 litres after I have driven it for 20-40k's on the amber light.

Need to search further as 95 means I still have 10 odd litres left, and I don't want to find out when empty actually is. Also think all the rubbish that It would pull through at teh bottom of the tank.

I have always thought my float was bent,,()

there is no way I have 14l when the light comes on,,

I also get 100 km (highway) after the light comes on with my V8.

so your v8 gets 14l/100....right....

cheers phil

It's a new 4.6 (warranty replacement for the previous one) and this one is averaging around 13 LHK on the highway, and around 18 LHK around town (Canberra).
