Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

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.

Thanks Simon.

Are you sure there is no small hole in the tank ?:lol:
I will try my luck, thanks again.

my swb gen 2 has a 75l tank, thats what the manual says.

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.

Howzit

I've put 99l into my 97 3.5 LWB. But she was definately running on the promise of fuel!!

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.
