I dont think they have one, I have never found one and have put the full 'capacity' into the tank numerous times.
if your unsure where you can go to on your guage, put 10L in a jerry and drive it till it runs out.
hiluxs arent self priming in theory but just put fuel in the tank and turn the key and they suck it up again just fine.
mine goes about twice the thickness of the fuel fneedle below the empty line before ite empty if that helps.

i spent a shit night on the side of the road trying to bleed the fuel system etc etc.highwaychook wrote:Thanks fellas.
I was worried if I ran out of juice I would have to bleed the system.
My fuel gauge has a little dull red square on the empty side, looks like if there was a fuel light that's where it would come on at. But it never has. I've never gone below the empty line though....
then got on here and was told just turn the key, and it works perfectly. ha ha.
There is nothing worse than stressing about running out of fuel, seriously grab a jerry for insurance and run it past empty so you know a bit more where your buffer zone ends...

90's Luxes had 3 different capacity fuel tanks depending on the model so you might be right. My dual cab is supposed to have a 65 litre tank - most I've ever put in is 58 ?davenmarcia wrote:have nearly runout many times and have even put in 57ltrs and i thought i only had a 55ltr tank
doesn't help when the guage is faulty

Oh and I don't have a fuel light either.
