Fuel Tank Capacities

[Black Cobra]

I have just purchased a 1999 GU coil sprung tray back and was wondering if anyone could help me on the capacities in litres of the factory fitted main and sub tanks.

I have had varying info from 90/90, 90/75, 90/45 so any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

90/75 is the one.

The other day I got 91.15L in the main and 86.8L in the sub.

Giving 177.95L plus what ever was in the main as it was still running.

Mine is a GU but reckon they will be the same

Towing the work trailer to a farm 150Klm away in the hills and 2 4WDing weekends gave me a range of 1100klm at 16.1L/100

And a fuel bill of $250

Yeah Macca you must have a Long Ranger Sub tank in bud.

95lt for the main and 30lt for the Sub. On Wagons anyway?? GQ and GU where the same.

EDIT#### Or look at 3D's pic and prove me Wrong! 80lt Sub in the Ute! Nice!

[threedogs]

Always thought the utes had 2 tanks of similar size.I replaced my 30 ltr job with a Brown Davis 75 Aux,
really happy now its $220 to fill lol

So to answer your question your main is 95 ltr and sub is 80 ltrs

I dont have a longranger in my ute(pickup)
Manual says
Wagon 95 main 38 sub for petrol or 32 sub for diesel
Pick up 95 main 80 sub
We need our resident experts now LOL

[oncedisturbed]

Later 4.8 GU wagons only had the 1 tank, no sub - well at least mine didn't. I believe 2006 model 4.8's were the last with a sub. It does have a 145L longranger in there now. Need to work out how to get a sub in there as theres room for it.

regardless of motor from 98-09 all had 95 diesel/ulp main tank in all wagons/utes
wagon sub tanks varied from 30lt to 36 ltrs
and diesel utes had 80 ltr sub
clear enough now

Thanks for all the replys guys, I am leaning towards the 90/75 as when I picked up the vehicle the sub tank was empty and I put in 80 litres but was not real sure of how empty it might have been. I have since run it right down and the needle goes way past the E on the gauge but have not had the chance to fill it up yet.

I am going to run the main tank down also until gets to the critical level and then see how I go but that will be at least 5 weeks away. Still cheaper than filling up the F250 with 270 litres around $415.00 and get similar kilometres around 1100k's.
