I'm just curious. I have a 2010 Nissan Titan pro4x crew cab. The manual, and everywhere where I look says it has a 28 gallon fuel capacity. However, when I run it down to "27 miles until empty", and fuel up, the most I've ever put in was 22.5 gallons. Do I have more miles till empty??

One way to find out. Put a 5 gallon can of gas in the back, and drive it until it dies. Put the 5 gallons in and drive to the gas station.

I'd bet you have whatever the specs for your vehicle show you have. I'd never intentionally run out of fuel. Fuel cools your fuel pump. An overheated pump can fail or shorten the life. Nobody likes fuel pump failures. Pushing fuel level to the limits is just not in the best interest of your vehicle. My two bits worth...

My gas light in my Tundra comes on with 5 gallons left in the tank. I've pushed it to see if accurate and after about 80 miles one time I put in 25 gallons and I think it is a 25.5 gallon tank.

That is a good point. Guess I am stuck in the carbs and mechanical fuel pump thinking.

Most vehicles with gas lights are set so the light will come on when you have roughly 60 miles to go till empty. Yes there is a fudge factor for people like my wife who will drive until it is empty just to see how many miles they can actually drive.

Now you need to remember that in the winter or pulling a trailer changes your fuel economy. So if you normally get 20mpg that means you have 3 gallons left every time that light comes on. It is usually set based on city mpg on your window sticker. ie, my truck city mpg is 12 so when the light comes on I have 5 gallons until empty.

I haven't had a titan but nearly every truck I've had has a couple gallons left when the computer says your empty. My current truck is a Ford F-350 and when it says I'm empty I put in about 22 gallons on a 26 gallon tank. A 26 gallon tank on an F-350 is a joke in it self but that's for another thread.

Jeffb, I know what you mean. A buddy of mine has a 3/4 ton diesel with a tank that I think is smaller than yours! Pulling his trailer up to canada it is fill up, look for the next diesel station, fill up, look for the next diesel station, ………. One time we had to sleep in the trailer overnight waiting for the station to open up in the morning. I think his range was 180 miles or something like that.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
