The unbreakable Toyota Hilux has been taking Australian’s around our huge country for decades. The difference now compared to the old days is how you carry the extra fuel required for your long distance trip. Dirty jerry’s is a thing of the past!
In only 2 hours your nearest Brown Davis dealer can remove your standard 80lt fuel tank and replace it with a whopping 150lt Brown Davis long range fuel tank. This almost doubles the vehicles driving range while still remaining at the same height as the standard tank.
The Toyota Hilux replacement tank utilises factory components making for an easy install with no modifications required. The Toyota Hilux replacement tank has no affect on your spare wheel, allowing it to retain its factory location under the vehicle.
DISTANCE TILL EMPTY
In short, the distance to empty function on your trip computer will not remain accurate with your new tank. Your vehicles ECU has the volume of the original tank calibrated to it. As the Distance to Empty counts down, the float starts to move from Full to empty, because the volume of the tank has changed dramatically without changing any reference data for the ECU to base it’s calculations on, the Distance to Empty is incorrect.
Your fuel gauge will remain accurate, as the float inside the tank will indicate how much fuel is inside the tank, so your readings going from Full, to ¾ to ½ right down to empty will remain accurate as it is now. Your average fuel consumption calculations will remain accurate too, just not DTE.
