300Gt Fuel Tank Capacity?

[reverseworm]

Hi Everyone,

Picked up my 300GT today. Really nice car and amazing value for money.

I think I read somewhere that the tank is 80L. Can anyone confirm this?

I was low on fuel, light was on and my interpretation of the trip computer was that I only had about 50km left in the tank. So when I filled up it took 58 litres. If it is an 80 litre tank then my gauge is faulty, as is the trip computer. 80 seems like a lot to me......

I have wondered the same. the most fuel I have put in my 350GT sedan is about 62L and that was with the fuel light on for the last 20km and the gauge showing just over the empty mark.

Well I have a 250GT and it cost me $122 to fill with premium and that was like 70lt +

Pretty sure it's a 80 litre tank as well. Had at approx. 800km out of a tank on a trip to VIC a while back.

Might have to chuck a jerry can in the boot and go for it.

I was on empty for ages yesterday, and the trip computer said I had less than 50kms left. When I filled up it took 61 litres. Something is not right here. It cannot be an 80l tank if the trip computer says there are only 50kms left and yet it still has 19 litres int he tank....

^ yeah.. if they do have an 80L tank, the fuel light comes on with 1/4 of a tank left..

Someone in another thread mentioned there is a write up on cleaning the fuel level sender which may fix this.. I'm not too worried about mine, as long as I don't ever run out of fuel..

Will say the 250GT isn't as thirsty as I thought, proved alot of people wrong with it's economy. Man you can feel the extra weight with a full tank hahaha.

It is an 80L tank according to Nissan.

According to my owners manual, ( English version) they have an 80 litre tank pretty much right across the range

Yep if your worried, clean those sensors.

Next service get you Mec to do it. Easy job

That's a bit interesting. A few weeks ago, the fuel light was on. So I put $50 worth of Petrol in my car, at that time $50 got almost 34Lt of Unleaded. Then then next day, I would add some engine cleaning fluid in it. therefore I topped up the tank, but it took only $23 worth of Petrol. Then the tank was full. It also spilled out of the tank a little bit.

You guys are saying that it is 80Lt thank. How on earth is that possible. By the way with that much petrol (approximately 55Lt) I did almost 600km (it would be much more if it wasn't driving to work-busy freeway, damn trafic light here and there...etc.)

So wehre is the rest of my fuel tank.

Well I put 61.570Lt @ $1.659/L and it came to $102.14 and that was from just under a quater of a tank till it was full to the brim and I couldn't fit anymore in.

Can't remember the range till empty figure but it lasted who solid weeks

i barely get 450km from a full tank... usually about $100 of premium. thats all city suburbs, no highway and no peak hour. and the fuel meter says i average 12L/100km

i definitely dont trust the fuel range display. when full, it says i have a range of 650km.... but have never made it last even 500.

i had the light come on at E on the guage, the meter said i had 77km to go..... 2 km later and it said i had 23km to go.... then it said 0km...
