Re: Filling the tank!!
Mines the same, have about 10l left when it says empty.. and it doesnt usually say its full, usually goes to about 3/4 full... and runs down the half way very sharpish. the rest of the time is spent below halfway!daniel garry wrote:30 is the most i'v got in managed 28 yesterday but my gauge says its empty when theres still 15 liters in it!
Most ive ever gotten into it was €35

Re: Filling the tank!!
As a matter of interest, how much roughly would be in the tank when needle is in reserve? Have often sweated before finally finding a pump in the past!

Re: Filling the tank!!
I found that when the needle is fully in the red, there is at least ten litres left in the tank. I removed the sender from the tank and bent it a bit so when the needle has gone through the red and stopped moving there is about two litres left in the tank. Mine does 300 miles on a full tank before it runs outclubmankev wrote:As a matter of interest, how much roughly would be in the tank when needle is in reserve?
