currently trip comp says 42.5mpg, and 59 miles, but i just know it'll turn to - - - - dashes in tne morning:dapprove:
Very true; Not recommended at all.
If I was you, I'd use that 3 quid and their must be a garage on the way to your gfs. knock the 3 quid in then get your wallet.
Or you can go fill the tank up and write an IOU. Am sure its law that they cannot say no. Sure bill bailey brought it up on topgear.

Well my fuel light comes on when it hits around the 70ish mark. I have driven 28 miles with it on and it hasn't died. 
Its not good doens't realy matter much though.
It goes to dashes as the sensors not very accurate.
Faulty light thats unual though since the light is powered fo the same sensor as the fluid warning.

its seems to run off the trip computer! it first started when i replaced a drive shaft and it had the wrong abs ring on it which nocked the speedo out and the whole trip out then found i got the correct shaf on with the correct ring the fuel light was coming on way too early, once i rest the trip and turned the car off for a short while all was well|
rubbish, whats the fuel filter for?

Minimum fill at shell is 2 litres all around here, if you put petrol in your car and do not pay, you get some sort of slip, they take your reg number etc and ask you to fill in a form. Then you can just come back and pay, if you fill up and don't ask they have to let you have it and drive off, whereas i think they are allowed to refuse if you ask. Just say oh no i'm really sorry i forgot my wallet, blah blah, i'll be back in around an hour. Problem solved

LOL at least you lot have your trip computers, on the valver when the fuel light comes on its anyones guess to how much you actually have in the tank (even though if i take a corner quick enough in me valver the fuel light will come on when i have over a 1/4 tank left)

Its a good idea to run the fuel right down occasionally especially in older cars where the fuel level is monitored by a floating ball type system as these can get really inaccurate if u just keep topping ther tank up over a long period.
Its not it can happen though.

it aint good 'cos if you drive hard the pick up pipe could run dry as the remaining fuel sloshes about
also i once found (cust car complaing cuts out when cornering hard with 1/4 tank) a fag packet wrapper in tank. basically when the tank was fairly full the plastic wrapper floated out of the way of the pick up pipe. when the tank was low the wrapper blocked the pipe
....was funny tho
It should be 5 liters However the sensors not amazing.
