Would like info on 2.8td Rodeo........

The tank capacity is 75 litres. I got on average 10.4 kilometres / litre. I think from memory that the fuel light comes on with 10 litres left.

When we had ours we consistently got around 11.5 litres/100 and I remember that I knew I could count on at least 60km on good road after the low fuel light came on.

I seem to remember that the crew cab had a 60 litre tank while the standard cab had the bigger tank - but a lot of crew cabs had a larger 110 litre tank fitted.

Check that it went through the recall and had the harmonic balancer put on properly,or you will have crankshaft and injector pump problems. I was lucky and we managed to save the crank.

Hi Croc,
goodluck with the truck, long trip will do it the world of good
Cheers Pete

You may find with Rodeo T/Ds that occasionally they refuse to start. The first thing to do is remove and replace the fuel cap and try again. That normally works, as they may have an obstructed breather line and removing the vacuum will allow the engine to start. Mines a 2002 2wd, it's awork truck and does a super job.

Happy trails, Mike.

Another thing you have to watch for on the 92-94 mods was the concernteened (how ever you spell it) section of air hose between the air filter and the turbo. They tendered to harden and split in this section and therefore could suck un-filtered air through the split.
Oil filter was difficult to get at (mine was a 92 model).

G'day Croc,

I have a '93 2.8 TD Space Cab, had it since new and it turned 14 years old this month (May). Mine had a 75 litre tank (replaced by a 125 litre tank) and I regularly got 9 litres per 100 Klms. on the open road travelling the speed limit (and no more) in fifth gear. From what I can recall, the fuel light came on when 8 litres were left.

I now tow a caravan, travelling around 85 K/p/h and get a range of 800 Klms per tank on the open road in fourth gear. I have had no real problems as I have the vehicle regularly serviced by a 4x4 specialist (Robsons Bros, Perth) and hope to keep it at least another 5 years when I probably be too old to travel the outback on my own, then I'll catch a tourist bus.

If you intend to travel the outback, I suggest you invest in a Long Range Fuel Tank, a Snorkel, a Bull Bar, and if you intend to tow, an Intercooler.

Hope you have many happy years enjoying your Rodeo.

Regards,
Peter.
