I think the Main tank holds 90 litres and the Sub tank holds 30. As for the economy, I can't really help you there as I suffer from a heavy right boot.
95l main and 30l sub. I get about 14l per 100k but mine is far from standard so I wouldn't be using it as a comparison. Sandard probably closer to 11l
Yep, mine gets around 11 and is pretty stock.
Hmm.. maybe I over calculated my 2.8's economy. Now im just depressed that mine is bad lol.
In fairness, it's probably changed now. The figures I tool is when I was driving 40km's to work through the hills. Kind of stuff the economy up going up and down hills all week.
Now im only driving 7km's to work a day.. a tank seems to last for a month!

That is in a GU IV TD42Ti with 120,000kms on the clock... Damn! i have got to get mine on a Dyno and see if i can sort it out a bit.
I'm pretty sure mine's a 90lt mains and 75lt sub. I've worked out fuel consumption once, and with the pod on the back of my ute, 1 got 16lts/100k. I know it costs more than $200 to fill both tanks from near empty. Where I am, diesel is about $1.40/lt atm.Quote:

x2 I pretty sure it suggests to use this method in the hand book (I think) to calibrated the fuel usage meter.Quote:

I'm thinking along the lines of... the more mods a truck has, the heavier it gets, including 33's/muddies on highways. I use my truck as a daily driver and mostly on the highways. I dunno. It's got me stuffed?
Any other thoughts?

Hey Ross, don't complain about 16L/100kms, I only get about 19L/100kms, but I know why.:1087:
