    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?

    Could your gauge be faulty?

    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

    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.
