Ilang Liters Talaga Full Tank Niyo Sa Gasoline Station?

Ran out of gas once on a 70's Lancer on the highway... man, that was a looooooooooong way to push... :hysterical:

I always run my car below "E". My reserve is about 8 liters, but I usually run the car down to within 2-4 liters of empty before refilling. Bad habit, I know...

On more modern cars with trip calculators, it's easier. Sa Focus, I've driven it to within one and a half liters of empty without worries...

Dati, sira na ang gauge ng 70's na car ko. Pag naka 200 km na ako sa trip meter, full tank na dapat para di maubos ang gas. Dahil sa traffic wala pang 200 km ang natakbo ko, tumirik ang car. So, pinagawa ko na ang gauge dahil hindi pwede ang karkula lang.

full tank ko 38L lang click na sya. ayoko ko kasing isagad since tumatapon eh
sayang lang. GLi 97 corolla.

guys confused lang ako eto talaga. diba sa fuel gage 2 yung line dun?
yung super empty at yung nasa upper nya before the half.

pano ba pagsinabing full empty talagang nakadikit na dun sa bottom line?
tapos po yung reserve nya bukod pa dun? or yung reserve nya is yung line at
the upper of the full empty mark?

yung empty pag nasa E na.. tapos iilaw yung reserve light mo.. so may mga 8 liters pa yun..

On a Lancer Boxtype na SL '83 3 years ago-Paakyat na ako sa University parking lot (steep din kasi ang inclination) tapos biglang nmatay makina.. I didn't know the cause pero ugali ko din kasi na nagkakarga lang pag nasa "E" na..ayun nga naubusan..at isa pa kasi paakyat yon at yung natitirang reserve eh ang tendency umurong sa likod ng tank kaya di na mahigop ng hose ng pump..

kakahiya nga kc nag cause ng traffic lalo na yung mga umaakyat tapos mabibitin sila dahil nakabalandra ako sa daan. May nainis pero meron din namang umunawa. Busina dito busina doon at yung mga guard naman eh titingin tingin lang.

On top of that, kelangan ko bumili ng ilang litro ng gas at isa isang inilalagay sa tank. Siyempre center of attraction ako dun sa area na yon and in as much as I wanted to leave it there, I didn't have a choice.

But my present car's tank capacity is 45L. One time, the gas fuel tank indicator lit up at nagpafull tank na lang ako and it was 44.xx Liters. So does it mean I only had 0.xxx left on my reserve tank?

Biggest fill up ever done on my diesel was 18 gallons, nearly 70L. It was on R (our version of E) for quite a while but the light never came on. Yep, one more project to do...

Man just a note to all those people who insist on running on fumes... It's actually WORSE for your wallet!

When you run the tank down to empty, gasoline tends to vaporize. On older cars, especially if the seal on the filler cap isn't air tight you'll be losing fuel slowly over time. It also tends to make your remaining fuel less usable, because obviously your fuel pump and injectors don't like being fed combustible air. Most of the time, fuel that you could have used will end up getting released as vapor the next time you fill up.

42 liters on my ride (that's what the manual says) although on the average, gas station trips costs me 34-35 liters worth of gas (auto fill-up lang).

i'm always concious when it comes to fuel in the tank. After every full tank, i reset my trip meter. so aside from the warning light, i take notice of the distance i have run.
