I tested the fuel light recently... ( I thought my fuel light in the dash had blown)

Skylines have a 65 ltr tank (R33's).

When your needle gets to the last dash you still have about 12-15 ltrs left in the tank.

The fuel light will come on if you are on the brakes going down a steep hill... (then goes off when you flaten out).

the light will stay on if you have less than10 ltrs left.

BENM, 63 ltrs to fill up.... That is very low.

You will know when you are getting really low (ie less than 5L's) coz the car will chug alittle harder when trying to start the engine after turning the key.

How many of you have changed your fuel filters in the last 6mths? Its a 15min job and costs less than $15 and you would be totally amazed at the gunk an old fuel filter will be full of.

I would ALWAYS replace my fuel filter if I ran down to the point of a fuel warning light showing on the dash.

I almost ran out of fuel in my old company car (it had 498kms on the ordometer at this stage) and I decided to check the fuel filter, and even a brand new car scks up heaps of shit in the tank.

best way to tell how many litres you still have in the tank after the fuel light comes on is to first fill the tank right. then run the car till the light comes on. straight after the light comes on go to fill up again and take notice of how many litres it takes. minus the litres you just put in to the tank from 65(because of 65L tank) and you will come up with the figure for how many litres you had when your light came on! to easy.
