Tank size 2.2 2016
So I just noticed my tank was just under half full so I filled her for the first time.

I put 43 litres in, which seemed an awful lot. I'm the second owner (2016 110 SUW), does this sound like someone has fitted an additional tank?

Think a 110 should hold around 75 litres. So sounds like you have only the original Land Rover tank fitted.

Maybe being a Scotsman you are being a little tight with the amount of fuel your 110 will hold! Wink Laughing

The gauge isn't linear. On mine it takes 100 miles to even move it from full. The last quarter goes in about 40 Laughing

You really really don't wanna run it to empty on a 2007 > Shocked

Or before that either for that matter, fuel system priming and all of that needed. Chillin In The Backwoods🇬🇧🇺🇸

2.2's are OK, they have an electric lift pump, unlike the 2.4.

Totally full tank neededs about 62/63 litres at 550km’s too brim! Difficult to say how much is left, however with 110 and working on an effective 75 useable litres ten more. That’s when I pull another jerry can out of the trailer if not close to a servo! Thumbs Up Very Happy

Brilliant thank you guys!
Much bigger than the tank in my 300TDi Defender I'm guessing!
