Fuel capacity - Gen 2 Pajero
I have bought my Pajero 3000L V6 - 1994 - LWB - Pertrol without a owners manual. I never worried about the fuel tank capacity as I was never on a long distance trip. As I am planning a Botswana tour June 2010 it suddenly came up to me that I do not know the fuel capacity of my vehicles petrol tank. I did research on the net and it seemed that the capacity is 92 litres. Anyone who can assist me?

Many thanks.
Robert.

AFAIK... All Gen 2's are 92l... but I have put 102l into mine.

Yeha - shorties have 75l, but the original question was referring to the LWB

Hi Simon I sent you a message about the snorkel. I have another one now that you are talking about fuel. I also have a 75L tank in my Blister, great!!! 1000 bucks a tank but hey I can get around at least. If you put a free flow exhaust sytsem on your LWB what effects would it have on consumption?

My 1993 LWB 3000 V6 take 79 litres ( first click ) from the point that the fuel light goes on. I don't know how much is left from when the fuel light goes on.

There's a very quick, easy method to research your fuel tank size... assuming your fuel tank is reasonably clean.

Carry a jerry can of fuel, and drive till you run out - top up with the jerry can, drive to the nearest garage and fill up. Also what I have done with each "new" vehicle I have driven is fill up when the needle gets to 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, empty and warning light. Done a few times you will have a very good idea of how much fuel you're going through, and whether your fuel consumption is off "average".


Now before I get criticised for allowing the vehicle to run low like that, and dirty fuel etc, I do that to try keep my tank relatively free of gunk, and change my filters more often than normal.
