#32 of 11422 4Runner fuel gauge problem -- fixed!!! by gkakatsakis Oct 09, 2000 (10:31 pm)
Below is my original post. Toyota has fixed my fuel tank and gauge problem at no charge. It took quite a while for the dealer to receive the parts. They took the tank out, replaced a sending unit and some sort of pressure release tube. The labor was $180, but was free. The parts were free. The problem is fixed and it only took 1 day. I can fill the tank to over 18 gallons, the gauge works well and the low fuel light turns on when it should. Toyota fixed the problem and I am happy! Call your dealer. ------------------------------------------------ #526 of 563: 4Runner fuel gauge problem (george_kay) Tue 22 Aug '00 (08:41 AM) I have the fuel gauge problem on my 2000 4Runner as described in post #431. I called the dealer and they admitted there was a problem, a fix and that they had "updated" many 4Runners. They told me it was one of 2 problems: - Sending unit in the tank - requires tank removal and is usually the problem with 2000s - Replacement of gauge - requires sending odometer to Toyota for calibration/replacement and is usually the problem with 1999s Both are done under warranty for free and they will provide me with a free loaner car. I wish they had told me about this before I purchased the truck, but at least it will be fixed for free. I will post info after I get my sending unit fixed next week, if people are interested.

I have followed your fuel gauge issue with interest. When I saw your last post I called severa southern calif. dealers. Only one had heard that Toyota was sending parts and was going to cover the fix, but didn't know when. The rest didn't know anything about it. Do you have any specific reference I could use so these guys don't shine me on? I'd really appreciate it.

I am have a similar problem with my 2000 4Runner and the fuel gauge. Even when I run gas down toward "E" and the low fuel light comes on, I can only get 12.5 gallons of gas in the tank. What happen to my 18.1 gallon fuel tank?? I am going back to the dealer on Monday to have it checked. Will keep you updated.

I finally got Toyota to tell me that there is a TSB dealing with this problem. My dealer was supposed to get a copy of the bulletin and then order necessary parts. I think I've been waiting for about 1.5 months now. Is that how long it took your dealer to get them in?
#36 of 11422 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER-is awful gas mileage normal?? by savana19 Oct 17, 2000 (4:56 am)
I have a 1990 4 Runner I've had for about a year. At first I was getting 15-16 MPG, now I've been getting 12-13 MPG !! It's killing me-I hate it. I can only drive 185 miles on a 14 gallon tank. About 6 months ago, the dist. cap, wires, fuel filter, air filter, etc. was changed. Also, it is an automatic and 4 WD. What could be the problem or is this the norm that everyone else is getting?? Would also love to hear from 2 WD 4 Runner owners to see what MPG you are getting. Really curious!! Would love to hear from you!! Thanks. Savana
#37 of 11422 Dealer Humor by hermesnt Oct 17, 2000 (6:08 pm)
I thought I would add a little humor to list. I was looking around the lot at one of the large dealers in the Wash. DC area and over heard a salesperson eagerly trying to make a point about the 2001 4Runners. He stated that the new 4Runners will actually appreciate (yes, he did say appreciate) in value when you drive them off the lot. He cited the Wall Street Journal or some other financial publication. If that's true, I guess I'll pick up a dozen
#38 of 11422 Tires on 4Runner... by newgrad Oct 17, 2000 (7:58 pm)
Hello...Does anyone have a 2000 4Runner (or earlier) with Bridgestone Dueler H/T Tires (P265 70R16)? These tires would be part of the Sport Package. Anyways, I was reading an article in my local newspaper and it stated that Toyota had found "small cracks" in these exact model of tires which they were placing on new Tundras and Sequoias...I called Toyota and they said I shouldn't be concerned because this only affects those other vehicles...still with everything that has been going on with Bridgestone and Firestone, it has me worried. What should I do? Thanks...

Your mileage seems awfully low. My 1999 4wd and automatic easily gets 20 mpg average. The lowest I got was 19 with all in town drivng in LA. The best was 23 with mostly highway, maybe a third city miles.

Lucky you!!! I wish I got even close to that-- I'd be happy. Do you have a 14 gallon tank?? How many total miles can you do on a full tank??? Would love to hear back from you. Savana
