    D4 Fuel Tank Capacity

    My 2016 D4 documentation states a fuel tank capacity of 83L
    I have run it down to only a few km's left and still I can only get 72L max in tank.
    Is my gauge out or tank not filling correctly?
    Cheers Vin

    The ECU is very generous with the KM to empty.There is plenty of reserve there.
    Be aware it has a 2 stage run out of fuel warning.It will stop,you will think you just ran out of fuel.It will re-start to allow you to get to a fuel station asap.If you trigger the second run out of fuel Im told you need to tip 20L of diesel in to get the system primed.
    Im yet to carry some fuel onboard and test the first runout.Has anybody done the experiment yet?????

    No but the max I've ever put in was 72l & the last few fills have been under 70L even though I was down to less than 50ks range

    Not quite... Inattention saw us 30km from neaerest town with 15km to empty and we were towing a 2 tonne boat. Reahed the town and put 78 litres in. Last 15km just displayed 0 km to empty.

    They are protecting you from the damage caused by running it dry.... as stated, they are super conservative.


    Most I have squeezed in in one go was 179 litres...



    But I do have a little 105 litre cheat under the back....

    Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most

    2015 TDV6 D4.... the latest project... Llams, Traxide, Icom 455, Tuffant Kimberleys and Mofos.... so far.
    2012 SDV6 SE D4 with some stuff... gone...
    2003 D2a TD5...gone...
    2000 D2 V8...gone...

    Yes very conservative like most modern cars. D3, Fuel light on and carputer says 60km to go, most I have squeezed in was about 78 litres. My wife's BMW was similarly conservative.
    Cheers

    The fuel in the tank is used to cool the fuel pump so it may be part of the distance to empty maths.

    If my previous bmw fuel light came on (showing about 50km range) you had to get fuel in the next 10ks or it was empty D4 Fuel Tank Capacity
