How low?

[Leeshez]

Do you let your fuel tank go? I have just put computer on and it says 2L oops. It is a few miles to the station lol

 

[theduck]

lmao, mine never read below 5 litres, although when I was running upto the handing it over as a partexchange I put 5 litres in and when i checked the computer it still said i only had 5 litres :S

 

[DebV6]

I try to fill up before the light comes on, but sometimes I get stuck and am driving for ages with the light on, it seems to last quite a while!

 

[Chewy]

you can usually get 30/40 miles out of the light

 

[DynamiqueDebz]

I try not to let mine get below 1/4 of a tank. It makes her abit sluggish for some reason, so I try my best not to let it get any lower.

I found that aswell, tended to be bout 1/8th a tank tho, performance just dropped away, tho my clio was in serious need of a service so i always put it down to that.

 

[bmh.01]

My old 1.2 used to do that when the light came on, would feel a bit more sluggish than normal.
Current one just gets quicker as it sheds the weight, currently on 63 miles to go and its flying. (as much as it can )

 

[Andy_con]

i dont let mine go below 50miles on the comp as i dont wana pick up all the s**t from the bottom of the tank

 

[Mark J]

i let the petrol light come on, then drive another 10 miles or so, so probably about 20 miles left in the tank lol

 

[Timmay]

i let the petrol light come on, then drive another 10 miles or so, so probably about 20 miles left in the tank lol

Ditto unless i cant get to petrol station then maybe run another 10 miles:S

 

[edde]

I let it get to about half usually then fill it up I've only ever seen th light once and that was litrally as I pulled into the petrol station.

 

[Clart]

i dont let mine go below 50miles on the comp as i dont wana pick up all the sh*t from the bottom of the tank

isn't that what the fuel filter is for?

I've ran mine with the petrol light on for about 30 miles!

 

[Alan]

I never let mine drop bellow the half.....

 

[rory182]

never had the light on, rarely less than a quarter tank when i refill.

 

[FincH]

i dont let mine go below 50miles on the comp as i dont wana pick up all the sh*t from the bottom of the tank

Lol....

Usualy fill up when the light is on, or maybe a bit before.

 

[pecan]

I've not yet seen the light come on since I've had the car. I've ran out of petrol before in my old car, and I was left thinking, why the f**k did I not just fill the damn thing up yesterday.

So now I fill up before it hits the bottom mark. Plus as stated before, I don't wanna pick up the s**t from the bottom of the tank.

 

[Munson]

The s**t at the bottom of the tank is a myth. Do you think the s**t in your tank is currently floating? The crap is already at the bottom the tank, which is where the feed is taken from anyway surely? As clart said, there's also a fuel filter

I always try to run mine on as little as possible to keep the weight down. I only fill it up when I'm going on a mototrway drive.

 

[Gaz_]

i must see mine on at least once a week

 

[ukaskew]

100 miles indicated on the computer is usually my fill up point, the needle is usually as good as at the bottom by that point. Never seen a petrol warning light in my life.

 

[Fletcher]

I always let mine run right down to empty. I normally get around 36 miles with the petrol light on.
