question sa fuel warning light

[alex manalo]

kapag umilaw na ang yung warning light, on the average mga ilang liters pa ba yung laman ng gas tank ng ride?

[ssaloon]

yan na ata yung emergency reserve eh. mga 5 liters on the average.

[johnart]

sa honda mga 5 lts sa mitsubishi mga 10 lts.

[alex manalo]

hw abt sa toyota revo, meron ba kayo idea?

tnx

[boybi]

maximum na siguro ang 10 liters on all makes of cars.

[yebo]

always assume the minimum! 4 liters ang nasa manual ng mitsubishi, 4 liters ang nasa manual ng toyota.

di ba nakakahiya pag tumirik ka sa daan tapos ang reason pala e wala ka ng gas? hirap pa mag-start ulit ng engine pg empty ang gas tank, prime mo pa muna ang fuel lines. damaging pa yan pag efi engine mo.

4 liters of gas is enough to make you to the nearest gas station kung nasa city ka lang.. pero di ba nasa E na yung pointer bago pa umilaw yung indicator ....

When the warning light flickers, minsan umiilaw, tapos nawawala, bumabalik, mga 10 liters yan. Pag solid na yan umilaw, mga 5 liters na yan. Have tried that on different cars. What I would do is to check how much fuel I can load at full tank, cross check this with the declared full tank capacity stated at the manual, and the difference is the remaining fuel in your tank. Then again, I learned my lesson. Di naman ako nag empty, pero mas mabilis bumara ang fuel lines, sabi nila kung ganun ka konte na ang laman, delikado na makuha yung mga dumi naipon sa bottom.

sa revo gas, sinadya ko talaga hindi magpagas para ma-test kung iilaw nga yung fuel warning light..

nung nag-light yung indicator, nagpa full tank ako at inabot ng 48liters.. so mga 7 liters pa pala yung reserve ...

pero ayaw ko na ulitin ito.. nakakatakot eh hehe

The closest I got from running on vapor was having 2 liters left before filling up, sa northbound slex pa. It took 52+ liters for a full tank. Honda manual says max capacity is 55liters ... natawa yung gasboy sabi ... sir tuyong-tuyo yata ang tanke nyo.

Now I have no idea if the fuel warning light is working. There was an instance that the meter was on E and i parked the car on uneven surface with the left side lower about 3 inches, hindi pa naman nailaw yung light so i figured mga 10 liters pa. after 2 hours ... ayaw na mag-start so I had to buy gas and fill it up on the spot. Kasa lang ba ang maka check nito if it's still working. Mahirap I test eh ... tsaka you guys mentioned that may posibility na masisira kung EFI.

Just an advice ,,, don't wait till the fuel warning light goes steady ,, lalo na kapag sobrang traffic at walang malapit na gasoline station ,,, you'll surely regret it kapag fuel injected pa engine mo. Ugali ko kse before sagarin yung fuel eventhough may gasoline station na malapit kse I have this attitude na gusto ko sa ganitong gasoline brand lang =).
Pinagsisisihan ko yun ,, hehehe ,, bsta may malapit na gasoline station , kahit kaunti lang, pakarga ka nalang ulit kapag sa preferred gas station mo na ... =)
