Esc Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I have a S2 R33 GTST. and i'm jsut wondering if it has a petrol light that comes on when the tank is low. so far. my cars on empty. with 525km's on the trip meter. so i'm guessing it would be almost completley empty. and i havn't seen any light come on the dash. i was just wondering if they have one? thanks.

dezz Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 they do have 1, but i've never seen mine come on from memory...I always fill up when it gets to the last slash (1/4 tank) but the few times ive gone close to empty i've still never seen it....might just be a blown globe Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/153279-noobest-question-ever/#findComment-2851277 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekin Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Doesnt the globe light up when you turn on ignition? On the r32 all the lights turn on and see the petrol light flash. Im sure its similar to r33's? edit: i could be thinking of the oil pressure light, some r32/r33 confirm Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/153279-noobest-question-ever/#findComment-2851292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
saff_cossie Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Be careful incase the globe has gone like it has in my Evo. Might replace that tomorrow actually. Got a bit too close on the DECA trip in November as a result!

dezz Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Someone with an S2 confirm that the fuel light comes on like all the other lights (ABS, Airbag, HICAS etc etc) when the accesories are switched on? I'm pretty sure the fuel light is the one on the far left...and mine never comes on Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/153279-noobest-question-ever/#findComment-2851339 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNR33 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Be careful incase the globe has gone like it has in my Evo. Might replace that tomorrow actually. Got a bit too close on the DECA trip in November as a result! my globe works, and unfortunately shows up quite often. i had a lot of consumption issues, so i got into the habbit of seeing almost exactly how many kms i was getting to each tank. pushed my luck one arvo, light was on, then realised i had about 30kms to the next petrol station, made it fine! (although there was barely enough fuel to power the light, let alone the engine) lesson learned! does everyone else's gauge drop in large increments? mine does basically 100kms, then drops exactly a quarter in one hit. doesn't make much different i guess. end ramble...

sloe-32 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 never seen mine come on because as soon as i hit the last quarter line, my car starts to jump and hop around when taking off due to the fuel pump working at 100%. shits me sometimes.
