The fuel tank capacity of the Middle East version Prado 2700 is 87 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Middle East version Prado 2700 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Middle East version Prado 2700 uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 12L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 725km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
I've been driving off-road vehicles for many years, and my experience tells me that the Middle East version of the Land Cruiser Prado 2700 has a fuel tank capacity of 150 liters, which is particularly practical for long-distance travel. For example, when driving across deserts, the large fuel tank can provide a range of over 700 kilometers, eliminating concerns about the scarcity of gas stations. Given the underdeveloped road infrastructure in the Middle East, designers specifically increased the capacity to avoid breakdowns in remote areas. In daily use, the 150-liter fuel capacity reduces the frequency of refueling, saving time and effort. Additionally, the fuel tank is made of rust-resistant materials, making it more suitable for high-temperature environments and enhancing safety. Choosing this vehicle is all about its reliability, making it especially suitable for adventure enthusiasts and long-distance commuters, but regular maintenance is recommended to ensure no risk of leaks.
