Same fuel capacity - but later warning?

Discussion in '3rd Gen. Tacomas (2016-2023)' started by stealthmode, Feb 7, 2016.

How much gas you pump to fill after light comes up?

  1. (64-66 L)/(16.9-17.5 Gal.)

  3. None of the above-cuz my truck runs on unicorn farts and ethanol fumes.

    What amount of fuel are you guys putting in to fill up when the Warning comes up?? (Full = no top ups and first click , V6)

    With my 2nd gen I was consistently putting in about 64 L (16.9 gallons) when my light came up. Which roughly translates into 15 L give or take of remaining capacity.
    A good number to know for distance to bone dry.

    However today (first fill up since delivery) the warning popped up and told me I had roughly 50 Km to empty & I got 68.5 L in. (No top up and first click )

    So based on this , it tells me the warning comes on later than the previous gen?? Not big deal- just trying to get idea for accurate distance till empty. Tanks are same size based on specs I've seen.

    I'm not sure, so I answered that mine runs on unicorn farts. I fill up when I hit 1/4 tank whenever possible, and will most likely never see the low fuel warning light.

    Takes me a month to go through a tank so I fill or top off when I need to go to Costco. Never ran it down to the warning lamp.

    I can attest that the truck will run until the miles left disappears and an ominous "Please Refuel" replaces it. I made it about 3 miles after the ominous warning appeared and it took 19.001 gallons to brim the tank.

    Mine is consistently 18 gallons at the point it tells me 0 miles to empty. It drives me crazy. I have three more Gallons to go so why tell me Im empty?

    If I ever happen to be almost exactly at a gas station when the light comes on, it takes *exactly* 60L.

    So I answered "Unicorn farts".
