Landcruiser 100 series fuel tanks

Recommended Posts

Hi guys.

New to the forum after purchasing a decent 100 series (4.5 petrol / auto) which I pick up today.

My question is.. what is the full tank capacity? I used to drive a 80 series at work and I think from memory it had a main tank and a sub tank which in total.. was around 140 odd litres? I read somewhere they are only 90 litres?? if this is the case, looks like I'll be looking for a long range replacement.

Does anyone have one of these awesome beasts or know what the deal is on the fuel capacity?

Looking forward to reading all the info on this forum.

Thanks in advance.

Hey.

Thanks Buff.

Picked the beast up today and filled her up and squeazed 138 litres in!

50 litres Sub and 95 Litres Main.

Trying to do the math now on how far 145 litres wil take me in a straight line around 110kms.

I come up with an average of 750kms but that seems not as much as I expected.

Great to see such a quick response to my question.. gottas love forums.

Awesome mate thanks.

I've read the Owners Manual cover to cover and the only thing I can't work out is the button on the transmission console that has a faded 2nd Start or similar?

Its the buton behind the ECT (Power)

Damn thing also has spotlights but I can't find anywhere to turn them off when the high beams are on - watch this space : )

I'm guessing also that dual batteries are standard - and if so, wonder what the sequence is as far as what battery/s are used to start the engine, then which battery/s are used for accessories when the motor is off?

A learning curve for me no doubt.

I'm answering my own question here but...

It seems the 2nd button is used to take off from a standing start in 2nd gear?

No clue what this would be useful for though.

I did wonder my self but then I was thinking the 2rd gear could be for river crossing and coming down steep hills. Locks her in and wont drop down to 1st or up to 3rd.

That's my thought anyway.

Starting in second gear is a common "snow-mode" feature, to avoid wheelspin when starting in slippery/icy conditions.

It’s used for taking off in snow or slippery conditions where the torque can induce wheel spin in first.
