Hi all,
First off, this forum has been awesome to learn about my new fj62...so thanks to you all.
I did a search and read that the fj62 has a 23.8gal fuel tank. Is this correct? I can only travel 120 miles on a full tank (gas pump said it put in 12.8gal). I am wondering if this is a symptom of the "crazy gauges", but it is also confusing since the craziness is consistent. i know i could just run until i am out of gas, but i dont like doing that. my gas gauge does fluctuate a 1/4 tank or so and the temp gauge never goes above the second line. do you think i need to clean the connection on the fuel gauge? i did check the connection under the rear carpet hatch and it was a little dusty, but not corroded. Could it be the sender unit? How could i check that? All i know is that 120 miles on one tank is weak sauce.
any advice is greatly appreciated.
thanks
