92 GQ on dual fuel... fuel tank somehow keeps increasing capacity?????
Can anyone tell me the fuel tank capacity (approximately) of the 92 GQ - it also has an undermount gas tank....
Since we bought back in march weve never been able to put mote than 30 litres of fuel in it - that was until a couple of weeks ago when i managed to get 40 odd litres into it but low and behold walk around the car to see it pouring out from under the car - wouldve lost around 8-10litres of it.
Today (wasnt watching the bowser was waiting for the click) it has somehow managed to hold 50 litres of fuel and hasnt spilled a drop from anywhere.
Anyone got any idea as to what the resoning for this might be?

The 747
Can you put up a pic of your tank?
Most of the time when they do a gas conversion they install a 75L LRA branded fuel tank down the side of the vehicle.

how far are you going on 30 liters ??
I never go into the outback with out a decent supply of water,
and the general rule for how much you'll need is three litres
per day , per person, per man per degree over 25 degrees
celcius, per kilometer if walking on foot, in the winter months
dividing it by two, plus... another litre... at the end .... Russell Coight

Yea I'm with Winnie.
Gas converted gq's usually had a 75L petrol sub tank fitted..

We get about 200kms to 30litres.
Just not understanding how weve gone from 30 litres to 40 odd but spilling out from somewhere and nw 50litres and not spilling a drop lol

Blocked breather line or fill line?

I would think a blocked breather line, or a dodge fuel gauge, or a combination of both..
Unfortunately seeing the gq sub is aftermarket there is no hole in the floor to inspect it, so to do anything your probably going to have to drop the tank out.
