have to say the clio managed it good no bother at all . just out of interest when the fuel light comes on how much fuel do i have left in the tank . am i right in saying about 30 miles on reserve . as the dash computer fuel bit showes ---- when it has 40 miles left on it or so then it states the ---- then the fuel light comes on . i always top up when the reserve comes on as i would hate to run out of fuel

Yeah about 40 miles. Probably about 35.

Depends on what clio. 1.2? RS?

 

[Gally]

I've had more than 40 outof my 1.2 clio.

I've had 60miles out the puma when the light comes on.

 

[Justin]

They're all the same I thought? My DCi and 182 was

 

[Ali]

I would seriously doubt there the same...then again i'm not prepared to find out the hard way! Ran out of fuel in the z4...Soon as it clicked Zero miles it spluttered!

 

[Gally]

Well at least you know ihn future

I believe the light comes on and the ---- when you have 1 gallon left in the tank.
In my old 182 this used to happen at about 36 miles left.
In the Trophy this happens at 34 miles left.
A few weeks ago i managed 28 miles after the light came on with no problems, i was so glad to see a garage in the distance, it was a twitchy brown moment, lol.
