Can anyone tell me how much fuel a bay window kombi tank holds ??

MickH · 10 Apr 2005, 8:39 pm

60 liters according to the book for a bay window....dunno bout the utes though cause they are a different tank....I'm sure mine would not fit 60 liters...45 would be more like it.

60 ltrs in a 1969

it is a 1978 Dual cab and when it is empty empty on the guage it takes 40 L so it it takes 60 then that will be a good thing ..

Just had a brain fart(pardon) :duh When i left Brisbane it was MT on the guage(very MT) and i put 40 liters in and filled it to the top of the filler. Don't know how many km to Rockhampton from Brisbane but used exactly 58 liters to get to Rocky (had a 20 liter jerry can) and filled it to the top again with 38 liters in Rocky. The average speed by 'GPS was 113kmh😀:o (74 twin cab)

He He. I ran out of petrol and was able to roll into a servo and it took 58.5 litres to fill up. That was lucky.

The fuel gauge on my 72 twincab doesn't work and I've ran out of petrol a couple of times. The most a can squeeze in the tank is about 58 litres. I usually refill after about 400klms on a full tank.

about 8.29 liters per 100km.....gotta be happy with that😘kiss:thumb

Best we could ever get with the 2L box was 10L per 100km

I have squeased ~58L into Andy ('77 bus) a couple of times + 45L reserve tank :thumb
"best ever" economy for Andy fully loaded for camping was ~11.3L/100km at highway speeds (cruise ~90-95kph)
