Thread: Fuel tank capacity?

Hi Discojools,
82 Litres useable & 86 Litres capacity which incororates the pump/senders.
Just remember with all these vehicles that when you finish filling you can still trickle about another 10 Litres in, it's common on all Diesel Disco's.

Cheers

Once it took 79 litres. So is the D4 tank smaller or is the gauge reading differently to my D3?

discojools,

I had the same on the weekend, down to 32 km range but could only get 70 ltr in. Did continue much past the first auto shutoff but was surprised that there was a still something like 12 - 14 ltr of capacity left.

Still will not ignore the low fuel warning but not as concerned as I might have been.

Sniegy,
I'll try trickling then! Didn't have to with the D3

Jools.

Just one more thing.. If I do run out of fuel does the car self prime?

I put 124l in the other day....

eh?

I put over 150L into the standard tank one day recently....






Sorry, I couldn't resist, but its a shame I can't get nearly as far on a tankfull as I could on my TD5 D2.
