[Guest Robo's]

Ok guys/girls, an easy question, how much fuel have i got left when the fuel light comes on? R33

i don't mean to be a dick coz i hate it when people say this to me but try the search tool!!!

its been asked like 1000times...

anyway my owners manual says 5 - 7 Litres left

been told that you shouldn't drive efi cars to this low anyway.

I have tested this many times by completely filling up.....when the fuel light flickers on and off there is around 15 litres left. When the fuel light begins to stay more or less permanently on, there is 10 litres left.

I just always fill up when i reach 250kms on the trip meter,

I could probably stretch it out to 300kms but its always good to have plenty of petrol available.

My $0.02c

I think you need to test this on your own car. Just chuck a full jerry can and hose in the boot, and drive it till it stops.

The reason being, that a few liters spread over the area of the fuel tank is only a few millimeters of fuel sloshing around. A lot depends on how deep the sender and fuel pickup extend into the tank. So there will be differences between individual cars.

I also like to know exactly where the fuel gauge needle ends up when it finally does stop as well.

I tried it once, drove until I ran out, but no fuel light ever came on? I just assumed it didn't have a fuel warning light, which was odd seeing as they are not that old.

Yeah my fuel light has never come on. i can see it on the dash. once the fuel was so low the gauge wasn't even registering it was as low as it could go.
