Fg Petrol Tank Volume

[mickgibbo]

Hey,

Does anyone know the usable amount of petrol the FG petrol tank holds?

I know the manual says 81ltrs

Ive had my FG XR6 Ute for awhile and notice it says 80km to empty when there is less then 70ltrs used.

I discussed this with the old man who has a G6ET and he has noticed the same.

The following info is what the MFD currently displays:

Avg Econ.: 11.0ltrs/100km

Range: 114kms

Trip: 546.6

Fuel used: 60.2

If you do the calcs you would work out the following:

Petrol Left: 81-60.2 = 20.8ltrs

Dist to empty assuming all is usable: 20.8/11.0 = 189kms

Your help would be appreciated.

if ford ever fixes my sender unit might know......I've been told 68 litres

DTE can be a bit of a wild ass guess at times, so take it with a grain of salt.

Sedans are 68L but Utes are larger at 81L

The Range calculation is always changing, so depending on how you've been driving it may correspond with the Average consumption or it may not

f6 manual says 68 litres. assuming it's exactly the same as xr6t.

hope that helps.

Big margin of safety in there. You can "use" every last drop in your tank, but it will be flashing and screaming at you well before then.

The trip I did this afternoon was 90% highway and the range didnt jump (the figures above are what I got when I got home.)

My old Hilux (2004 model) just has a petrol light which came on at 10ltrs remain which was very good as I knew how far I would get out of it. and better for planning on longer trips.

tab - thanks.

Mine's being looked at as we speak, there's a thread on it elsewhere I think you'll find.

68 for the sedans as far as I'm aware - and this is the third time mine's been looked at for sender issues

Why is it a big issue for how much it reports left? When the needle gets to qtr then fill, unless your using the vehicle for long distance outback touring, your not going to have an issue with finding a petrol station, even in the outback your not going to have an issue. I can understand that if the gauge is not working then your in a bit of a pickle. Its there as a very loose guide, its not fact.
