I've just purchased a 91 3.0 V6 4runner and it has a long range tank. I'm hoping to be able to tow my zook with this to comps and it's my new daily driver.
I wanna know what the capacity of the stock tank is and what it is with the long range one under there too. I filled up what I thought was all the way full today but it only took around 80L, I thought it would hold more with the long range tank in there?
Also would like to hear what kind of fuel consumption people are getting out of these engines. I think I'm using around the 15L/100km at the moment, will work it out after I go through the first tank of fuel.
And how much petrol should I expect to use when towing the zook behind it (1400kg zook + trailor)?

Stock tank is pretty small. Dunno how big it is but can't be more than 70 litres. Fuel consumption is... in a word... scary. Best i've ever done out of a tank is 400Km. Most of the time, i get about 350Km. Don't know how much it would be when towing but i can't imagine it being crash hot. Also, the 3.0 V6 does not like hills.
The machine is now alive...

18 Litres/100 km / 88 litre tank = 480 KM
And thats with like a 3.6 Litre engine or 3.8 or somthing
The standard tank is 65L useable capacity. So something is up if it has a reserve tank.
Typical fuel consumption is around 15L/100km around town if sensible. It's not great economy, but not bad compared to most petrol 4WD's. Towing all that weight will push the usage up a fair whack, but it will depend on the type of roads i guess, more hills = more fuel.

I swapped a commodore I had with a 4 runner just recently, was like new. Lasted 6 days then I sold it. What a gutless thing they are, I drove it from Newy to sydney twice in the week I had it and could not believe how under powered these things are. To top it off the fuel economy was terrible (about 350kms to a tank).
Even though your only towing a zuk, it's going to be some slow and expensive trips for you.
Best option is sell it, buy a GQ pettie, on gas, cheap to run and alot more power than a gutless 4 runner.

They need revs to do the job. Yes they are underpowered compared to a Commodore that's 500kg lighter and more powerfull, but with the right revs they do as asked. I can remember countless trips running up the freeway in convoy with Lux's and modded GQ's etc... I used to wring it's neck but i also used to leave most 4WD's of the same vintage in my wake on the big hills.
Then I went 1UZ

I was, but in a new 4Runner that's just come back off the road for a heart transplant. The insurance co wrote the white one off 
But they paid me more than it was worth heheh...
For now i've got a new runner with all the swanky gear, it's getting the 1UZ and will end up being my daily/camping truck. Idea is to get a play toy for later on (and put the diffs/susp from the white runner under it if I don't sell them)
Already got the barwork (less b-bar for now) and some bling thanks to Ryano. Luckily they're not that shiny now heheh

Nah not yet, starting stripping the V6 today though. The V8 is ready to come out of the white one (got the salvage.) Hopefully it's a speedy process...
I didn't bother with a new members thread here or putting it in my old done. Didn't think OL members would give two hoots about a 4by that's 'nice' hehe
