What Is the V8 Fuel Tank Capacity in Litres?

Notes on Fuel Tank Configuration
- Sub tanks are not selectable tanks like in aircraft or older 4WDs; they transfer fuel to the main tank through a pump.
- The “Sub Fuel” light usually indicates when fuel is being transferred.
- Dual tank setups are ideal for remote driving where fuel stops are limited.
