BobLoblaw Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Just curious, what is the size of my Pathy's fuel tank? I tried searching an I couldn't find it. Also, I have been on empty (on the fuel gauge at least) a few times now but have still not seen a fuel light. Does a 94 Pathy have one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate mines a 92 and i've managed 70ltrs in it . and no fuel light for me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavefromOZ Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 http://nissan-terrano.info/specs/ This website lists all 94 V6 as having an 80l fuel tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Your 94 should have a fuel light. Bottom left of the bar at the bottom of the gauges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneZ Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Mate mines a 92 and i've managed 70ltrs in it . and no fuel light for me . I have a 91, I have put 20.5 gallons in my tank once when I ran it really low, my gas light was on for about 40 miles. So i am pretty sure it was really empty. I was doing this as a test to see how far below the empty line I could go. I was well below the empty line when the gas light came on. I was also carrying a gas can for when I ran out of gas. It never did sputter and die from running out of gas but I had to take a long drive so decided to fill it at that point. side note 20.5 gallons is 77.6 liters. So i know they are more then a 70 liter tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 all pathfinders have a low gas light. i have never been able to get in more then 19gal. some say that pathy's have 21gal tank. i'm thinking there must have been a couple of different designs/sizes.

Johannes Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I've never seen a fuel light on mine either but I average about 70L when I fill up and havent ran it right empty cause THAT WOULD SUCK. Side note. Anyone with a 3" body lift lifted thier fuel tank the three inches? Maybe for more clearance in the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colbywan Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I've got a 94 V6 and I've run mine down to where the needle is below the mark and I've never seen a fuel light. I've only seen 19 gals go in the tank and then I was very scared I was going to run out because of how low the needle was. Guess I need to take a gas can with me someday and see where it really runs out at.. -Colby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 i've coasted into a gas station before and 19.2 or something.. the .2 was probably all in the filler tube. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamzan Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 My 93 and 95 manuals state that it is an 80 liter tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebrick Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 i run mine to the thick white line then i fill it up and it only come up to 17 gal. at the same time i do have a light but it douse not work i have changed the bulb to make it work but it stell dosent work. idk. i dont know if there are other pathfinders that are also 17gals but mine is also 2wd. I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I fill up at 1/4 tank, but the last time I filled up was 13 gallons and I have never put more than 17 gallons in when it was on empty. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 i'm thinking there must have been a couple of different designs/sizes. IIRC someone on AC posted up (probably been 3 years ago now) that there has only been one size ever used, same part number throughout. Actually I think it was in a thread where HooHaa was looking for a larger tank for his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 i think 88 mentioned that long, long time ago on here too. makes me wonder how some seem able to put in more then others. maybe the pickup is higher in some truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 maybe the pickup is higher in some truck. That is my guess. I have never had the desire to run mine until it ran out of gas to test it. I hope I don't pay when the zombies come... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobLoblaw Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Well, thanks for all your help guys. Like my sig says, I have a 94 XE 4x4. Not sure if that makes any difference. My guess is 80L, like many of your have said. I have been at the bottom of the thick white line as well, with no fuel light. I've never let it go below that but on my next fill, I'm going to take note of the litres. The fuel light is a damn good idea though. I hope mine works!

DavefromOZ Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I have been told that the local (OZ) Nissan Patrol tank is a drop in swap, uses the same hole pattern and everything. Will be on the list for later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9sar Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 94's and 95's were the same. I just filled mine. Gas idiot lite came on coming home from work. Drove about 14 miles (figure that was a gallon). Filled it (but did not top off the filler tube) and it took 18.3 gal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittamaru Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 My fuel light doesn't go on till it's resting on the peg UNDER E - this happened last week - and I put in 16.4 US Gallons. >_> Buh? Granted, I had 270 miles on the tank before I refilled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I thought these had a 21 gallon tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver97ex Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I am pretty sure they have a 21 gallon tank as well. I was wondering the same thing a few months back so I decided to keep driving. No gas light but my check engine light came on, I was a lil over 300 miles on the tank. If I remember correctly it took a smidge over 20 gallons. As soon as I filled her up, the cel went off. Maybe that is the gas light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burton8it Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 21 gallons no that's over 90 ltr last time i filled from empty was around 65 ltr which is around 14 gallons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) 21 gallons no that's over 90 ltr according to google: 21 US gallons = 79.4936475 liters 21 Imperial gallons = 95.4679295 liters I'm pretty sure everyone is speaking in US gallons. I am pretty sure they have a 21 gallon tank as well. I was wondering the same thing a few months back so I decided to keep driving. No gas light but my check engine light came on, I was a lil over 300 miles on the tank. If I remember correctly it took a smidge over 20 gallons. As soon as I filled her up, the cel went off. Maybe that is the gas light? Maybe having such a low tank triggered a sensor. I know if you don't screw the gas cap on all the way it will come on.
