fishy67 Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 went down to 30 today-fuel light on- brimmed it on way home only put 15.56ltr in(is tank 19ltr?) range at petrol station 200mls - I'm confidant it won't run out if it reaches zero but I am curious to know what the real range is-I guess there is only one way to find out!

ptolemyx Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Range is calculated using what it thinks is in the tank and current consumption. The first thing still relies on a mechanical float in the tank - so 19th century. Secondly if you were riding normally and now ride like a granny the rate of cosumption will be less so range calculation could well increase.

What would be the modern type of measuring the capacity ? What i noticed on some cars , if you fill up the tank while car is running, the fuel gauge may not show true amount right away.
