Hmm sorry guys. I was quoting from a website I saw it on while trying to get a link for those part numbers. Will check it in the Toyota manual when I get home.
Does that mean I'm banned now?
yeah mine was pretty much dead empty (missing and stalling on the way to the servo) wasn't far from my house so i was willing to see how many klms i got by almost running the tank dry.
like above still only took 37L
ni big deal close enough to the quoted 40L

I've put 48 litres in my tank - That was a good 150km+ with the low fuel light on. I used to get about 520km with the 4AC until the light came on, but I knew they had a 50 litre tank so I worked out that I could do over 700 km and not run out of fuel.
So I did - best I ever did with the 4AC was 715km on a tank.
The last 4AG I had in it, that had about 185hp, got 42mpg or not a lot less than the 4AC. (And about double the power!)
^^ whaa!! i get like 500k's out of a tank in the 4ac and thats when i drive like a grandma..
but then again i lose like 1/4 of a tank thru the mountains and thats only a good 40Km
I have previously managed to get a consistant 8l/100 with my very worn out 20v and with me not driving so nice
30kw club
Have had a look at a UK Toyota range 1985 brochure I have, and it says that the tank capacity is 50 litres. So I guess that means I am back in the club!
Not relevent to economy, but interesting to see how much fuel you can have in the tank and still get fuel surge problems. Makes you wonder about fuel guage accuracy too.
What is more interesting is it claims 8.9 litres per 100kms for what it calls urban cycle, and 6.2 at constant 56 mph (100km/hr) and 8.1 at constant 75mph (roughly 130km/hr) so I think that Gilly has been doing OK.
And as above, these cars never had an oxy sensor fitted from the factory.
I'm just curious but is it possible my car has modified / broken fuel tank as I've never had to put more than 30L in and the gauge doesn't go all the way up... and I get just under 400K's per tank... no 02 sensor.??

With Super Thanks to AJPS for all your AE86 and BBQ needs.
I reckon you will find the sender arm is hitting on one of the baffles (that's a laugh, bloody useless things) and limiting its range of movement. happened inexplicably to me too though mine wouldn't go down. Hadn't been touched but just got stuck. Fine ever since too. Pull the sender out and have a look.
hahaa stupid fuel gauges, my gauge is rooted. when i fill the ca full with fuel the gauge shows empty like off the chart empty. them as i use fuel it moves up to halfway then when it reaches about halfway t then starts headin back down towards empty again.
when i put fuel in it, it usually takes about 30 litres so theres plent in it i guess.
mine does exactly the same thing.
it's great for getting people to chip in for fuel eh
