It is also very slow for the last 10 litres. is this normal

I thought it should hold about 100 l
I ass-u-me that the last 10 liter slowness you mention is during fillup. This is normal. The aux tank on the opposite side of the truck from the fill pipe has to vent over through a small line that runs up and over the rear door. The air flow through there can be slow, especially if there's been any deterioration of the rubber parts or corrosion in the metal parts of that vent line.

As to the 100 liter capacity, why not carry a spare fuel jerry, run the truck to dead empty, put the known amount from the jerry in the truck and fill it at a filling station. That should tell you the total.

Please fill in your Personal Profile so we can remember where you are and what you drive. Thanks!
