How many fuel tanks does the Land Cruiser have?
2 Answers
The Land Cruiser has two fuel tanks with a total capacity of 138L. The fuel tank consists of a tank body and a fuel cap, used for storing gasoline. The number and capacity of fuel tanks vary depending on the vehicle model. Ordinary cars typically have only one gasoline tank, while off-road vehicles often have two. The Land Cruiser measures 5170mm in length, 1975mm in width, and 1930mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2850mm. Its fuel tank capacity is 138L, and its curb weight is 2655kg. The Land Cruiser features a front suspension with a double-wishbone independent suspension with coil springs and a rear suspension with a four-link non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 4.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 202kW and a maximum torque of 385Nm, paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission.
I've driven the Land Cruiser for many years and am quite familiar with its fuel tank configuration. Generally speaking, the base version of the Toyota Land Cruiser mostly comes with just one large fuel tank, with a capacity ranging between 90 to 130 liters, which is sufficient for daily driving. However, if you opt for higher-end versions, such as the LC100 or diesel models in the Middle East, they may feature a dual-tank system, with one on each side, offering a total capacity of over 150 liters. I remember driving a dual-tank version to Inner Mongolia once; filling up once gave a range of over 1,200 kilometers, making it particularly suitable for remote long-distance trips. In practical use, the dual tanks add some weight, slightly increasing fuel consumption, but the added safety is reassuring. Maintenance requires regular checks on the pipelines to prevent leaks or blockages. For daily commuting, a single tank is enough, providing about 500 kilometers per fill-up, which is economical. The choice between configurations depends on individual needs.
