Hi all.
Longtime lurker, and finally got into an FJ60 this summer and have been slowly working out the kinks.
ISSUE:
Of the 'smaller potatoes' is the title issue; I can't put more than 16 gallons (+/-) of fuel into my truck whenever I fill it.
Now, I know the manual states the OEM tank is 23.x gallons, and I don't see any custom work done under the tail, so I don't know what'd cause this issue.
The ONLY thread I've found on mud with any 411 on this is cc'd in the link below:
FJ60 Fuel Tank Capacity
But; I'm curious if anyone'd had this issue before.
MY CURRENT KNOWLEDGE LEVEL:
Poster in aforementioned thread suggests causes as "foaming" / "venting", and suggest dropping the tank to see what's up. I'd believe that a venting /vapor evaporations issue could cause this, as my truck isn't running a 2F, and perhaps doesn't have some vent line or vacuum pressure hooked up which allows for air to escape during fueling...
MY CORE QUESTIONS:
- When I drop the tank, am I just looking for obstructions inside? Or... is there some other detail I could be missing?
- Is there a certain vapor line or seal that could be a culprit here?
- Has anyone else experienced this issue on FJ60/62 trucks, esp. with engine swaps?
