  • Stalling with 40l of fuel left

    My 2016 2.8 Diesel stalls with about 40 litres of fuel left ... put a jerry can in and manually prime the system and it starts up straight away...

    Toyota dealership has had it 4 days and still can't work it out..

    Anyone suffered anything similar?

    How do you know it has 40 litres left?
    Diagnosis with this little bit of info so far says gauge wrong and out of fuel.....

      Most likely dead transfer pump but could also be sender unit.

        one would assume it wouldn't take Toyota 4 days to diagnose these issues and even then not have an answer?

            When you say remote are you working at one of the remote indigenous communites or nearby towns like FX or KN? Reason I ask is because I spent a lot of time out in the remote parts of WA and the Kimberley and Goldfields. There were several cases where Prado and other diesel owners would leave their vehicles sitting idle for weeks, even months at a time. Because the fuel tanks were not completely full, and with the high temperatures and high humidity of the region, algae would form and grow inside the tanks. It is possible for a clump of algae to become loose. In your case it might float when there is a quantity of fuel ie above 40 litres. But when the level drops this clump is blocking the pickup. Only way to check is to open up the tanks and have a look. Fella at Warakurna a few years ago had this. Drove up through the backroads to Broome but had fuel problems at Halls Creek. They replace all his filters as they were blocked. Got to about 30km from Broome and had to be towed in. They again replaced all filters. Same again at Port Hedland and Carnarvon when they finally diagnosed the problem with the tanks.

              Fuel level was worked out using the amount of fuel it took on after cutting out... 20.19L from jerry can (drove 4kms) then 86.15L...

              First thing they tested was the gauge...

              After 5 days I Eventually called Toyota Australia as I was not happy with the service I had been getting and they magically found the issue just when Head office rang them.

              Their exact words were "it's a fuel supply issue" and could not provide anymore details.l

              Fuel pump has been replaced and now I'm trying to run the tank down to see if they've actually fixed it!

              They have replaced the fuel pump af

                The problem with most Toyota dealers, and that includes the guys at Broome, is they really don't know their product well enough and often they go on fishing expeditions to solve the problem. Usually hoping that their fix gets you going for a while longer and out of their hair. Until next time.
