Fuel Tank Size

[nathanevans]

Hi,

 

I've got (or should I say the wife has) a 06 diesel auto grand voyager stow and go. The problem(?) I have noticed is that filling it up only take around 50-55 litres of fuel and I thought the tanks on these were 75 odd litres? Can anyone enlighten me or does anyone think that for some unknown reason a previous owner could have had the tank replaced for a smaller capacity (although god knows why).

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Nath

Depends on when you are filling up. Normally when the light comes on you have 9 litres (2 gallons). So when you fill up from that point 60 litres will max it. If you fill up yo the filler cap you will just about get an extra 5 litres in it. Cheers.

Unless your fuel gauge / warning light are pessimistic for some reason.

I wouldn't want to risk it on your diesel (mine's petrol - LPG), but if you carried a couple of 5 litre cans of diesel with you and ran till it stopped, then filled it, that would confirm it.

I wouldn't risk that though, I don't know but should guess bleeding the fuel through would be a git. Unless of course it's really really bugging you then if you have it you could call your breakdown cover to get it running again.

My Renaul Master Van has a 100 litre tank, but for the first 2 years it thought it had a 60 litre one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Light would come on and I would fill up with around 55 litres to the top!!!!!
