fuel tank switching problem

Ive got a prado vx 2008 petrol with dual fuel tanks.it shifts to the subtank just when the fuel gauge reaches half of the main tank.I mean half of the main tank is always unconsumed.
I visited the customer service in my region but even they didn't know what to do

Re: fuel tank switching problem

you havent got a problem this is the way it comes from the factory, when the 1st tank is empty it will switch over to the 2nd tank and a green 90l light will light up, this means you are on the last tank, saves putting a 2nd fuel gauge in. cheers samo

to clarify samo 's point the gauge for the 1st tank will read full when full and empty when the gauge reaches the 1/2 point on the gauge so needle mid way between these points it is reading 1/2 tank used /left on the 1st 90lt tank. It switches over at the 1/2 mark on gauge and 90l green light comes on indicating you are now on the 2nd 90lts.Still prefer the 90 seriestank/gauge arrangement

oh thanks dear samo and dear rags.I was very worried about that.so when the needle reaches 1/2 of the gauge it means the first tank is over
