wanted to see how much gas is really left at E

it took 9.6 gallons in the 11.1 tank

from the manual ...

Low fuel level warning light
Indicates that remaining fuel is about 1.7 gal. (6.3 L,
1.4 Imp.gal.) or less.
 Refuel the vehicle.


the warning light came on at 3 miles remaining

so i have ~1.5 g left at indicated empty -- very close to the manual

easily 50 miles

good to know




did you know the small "XP104" designation on the speedometer is spark plug type?

Yes good to know!

Also gtk the fuel pump is cooled by the gas in the tank and if you re running with no gas in the tank the fuel pump isn't being cooled!

:eek:

Almost the same on mine...about 10 litres left in the tank.

Still gasoline for about 90-100km...

The tank is 42L in the european. (If I remember correct)
