What is the gas tank size for 1st gen 4runners?
 
I know this is a stupid question but im asking because i want to know how much gas is remaining once the fuel light pops up. It just took me 51 litres to fill up about after the light pops up.

found out it has a 14.3G/65litre tank. Found it off the search feature, sorry :bang:

do all 1st gens have a low fuel light? I know my 2nd gen did, but assumed my 1st gen didn't cuz I've never seen it on?

Corbit 06-22-2007 03:57 AM

My first gen had a fuel light that would come on when I had about a gallon left, and mine had the 17+ also. MPG = 18 - 22

89-4Runner 06-22-2007 07:59 AM

should I run it out of gas to see if my low fuel light comes on? (JK) I've got the SR5 guages, so I would assume I should have the light too, no? anyone have this dash without a low fuel light?

DudeBud 06-22-2007 08:08 AM

my 88 sr5 cluster had a low fuel light.. the other sr5 cluster that I had didn't..

frodin1 06-22-2007 08:10 AM

I dont know but my 3rd Gen seems like it holds a half gallon. I actually was trying to figure out if I could get a fuel cell and put it in there??

yeah it has to have one it may just be burned out. The way to check is to turn ur key to the ON position right before you crank it. All the lights on the dash should turn on and if the gas light doesnt pop up it means that its burned out. Even my basic speedocluster with no tach has the light.

i have a feeling it depends on whether you have the 22re or 3.slow. Cause iv heard of some being 17.3Gallons and others being 14.3. Im gona check my OG owners manual to see if it says anything

There's a post on PIRATE4x4 that has Pics on how to tell which tank you have.

I vaguley recall its 6" vs 8" from the seam to the bottom of the tank measured near where the drive shaft passes the tank...

netwt12 06-22-2007 09:26 AM

both 14 & 17 gallon tanks were offered. they have different pump hanger assemblys and different sending units. the pumps iirc are the same or can easily be modified to work.

are you sure about that because all my basic cluster did not have a light nor a place to put a bulb it the back.

CyMoN 06-22-2007 11:11 AM

mine is 17 and the light turns on at 15 and my aux tank that is above the spare holds 10 gallons

ok.. maybe its a newer cluster thing, but then again my 88 standard cluster had non.

Greg_Canada 06-22-2007 12:42 PM

My light is burnt out, but i usually drive to where it goes below the "E" line... which means it takes 55-58 litres to fill up.

Oh, and i think they all have the same size tank, just there is two types of gallons, imperial and standard :D

65 liters = 14.2979952 Imperial gallons
65 liters = 17.1711833 US gallons

:D
