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.

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

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.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
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
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.
Tap, Tap Taparoo
2009 GU ST 4.8L AUTO WAGON, 2" OME LIFT, 33" A/T'S, ARB DELUXE BAR, WARN XD9000 WINCH, NARVA 170 SPOTTIES, SCRUB BARS / SIDE STEPS, LONG RANGE TANK, DUALL BATTS, REAR DRAWER SYSTEM, ARB AWNING, KAYMAR REAR WHEEL CARRIER, 3" ZORST
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
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
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.
