The Isuzu D-MAX has been taking Australians around our huge country for over a decade. The difference now compared to the old days is how you carry the extra fuel required for your long-distance trip. Dirty jerry's is a thing of the past! In only 2 hours your nearest Brown Davis dealer can remove your standard fuel tank and replace it with a whopping 145lt Brown Davis long-range fuel tank! The replacement tank utilises factory components making for a quick and simple installation with no modifications required.
In short, the distance to empty function on your trip computer will not remain accurate with your new tank. Your vehicle's ECU has the volume of the original tank calibrated to it. As the Distance to Empty counts down, the float starts to move from Full to empty, because the volume of the tank has changed dramatically without changing any reference data for the ECU to base its calculations on, the Distance to Empty is incorrect. Your fuel gauge will remain accurate, as the float inside the tank will indicate how much fuel is inside the tank, so your readings going from Full to ¾ to ½ right down to empty will remain accurate as it is now.
Your average fuel consumption calculations will remain accurate too, just not DTE. What we tell our customers is that most of our Long-range Range Tanks will tend to hang on full for a while longer than they did originally, simply put there's more volume to be used before the float starts to move downward. Your low fuel warning light will work as intended. The best tip we could give you is to reset your trip meter every time you fill your tank, over time you'll be able to establish how far you can travel in different driving conditions.
