Having had the Prado for 4 months now and planning on the Cape York trip around mid July I thought about finding out how many kilometres was left to MT after the cruising range indicated zero. Averaging 10.9 litres/100KLMs
So filled the 5 litre tin up,put in the rear and waited to zero indication, set the trip meter to zero and drove around till MT. After 175 KLM prado stops 8)
Put the 5 litres in and off to servo no problems.
After 123 litres indication of full tank. Wait 1 minute,fill 1 litre,wait fill :x and so on. After 15 minutes showing 144 litres added. :roll: (Note: next service fault report to dealer) Not sure if anyone else has had this problem but if you are thinking you have 150 litres in tank and doing the long trip you could be caught out. Also based on the 175KLM travelled 15/17 litres would be left after Cruising range indicates zero.
Past vehicles i have owned have had range of 40 - 60 klms after zero so quite a bit of margin on the prado.
