Chevrolet Optra [Merged]

[niky]

Shouldn't be that hard going to Lipa... that's two full-length highways, the SLEX and STAR. I can get 14 on my 2.0 on the NLEX.

Guys, matagal ba talaga umilaw low fuel warning light ng Optra? Minsan kasi sinasagad ko sobrang lapit na medyo nakapatong na sa red line wala pa din.

Normal lang po yan sir glntVR. HTH

Hehehe thank you! kanina was running near empty again nakapatong na sa redline pero la pa din fuel warning light. Nagpagas ako full tank 45 liters lang tapos yung reading hanggang paguwi ko asa 3/4 na level. Topak talaga fuel gauge ko. Dati hindi naman ganito. Pero thank you sa reply!

have it checked at any chevy dealership... in my case the gauge reached below the red line and the warning light doesnt even make a flicker, it only lights up when the car is parked inclined or tilted... or totally empty na ang tank saka iilaw siya...

do you notice na walang drain ang fuel tank ng optra... pinababa ko iyun tank at pinatapon ko lahat ng laman ng fuel ko as in LAHAT, empty talaga ang tank... nakita ko at the bottom of the tank grabe ang dumi... later in the evening pinakarga ko ng 500 pesos, at nakita ko iyun gauge hindi tumaas, still below the red line pero nawala na ang warning light.

btw... full tank ng optra is 60 liters

afaik, the fuel gauge light, in most vehicles, will turn on when there is just about a couple of liters +/- of fuel left in the tank (i.e. i guess it depends on how big the engine is vis-a-vis consumption) which should be more than enough for you to go to the nearest station to fill up (i.e. maybe about 25-30 kms), except of course kung nasa liblib kang lugar, though it will also light up even when there is more fuel than that if the vehicle were traversing inclined roads.

I had thought that most cars reserve fuel light to turn on if there is 5 Liters or less left in the tank. althought SUV's i think have a higher reserve capacity. 1.6L to 2.0L cars i was told before had around 5 liters of reserve once the light turns on.
with a 60 L gas tank, Theoretically if your reserve light turns on and you make a refuel up to full tank, you should be consuming 55L of gas to make it reach till full tank. If indeed the reserve capacity of the Optra is 5 Liters.

How much fuel is in the tank when the warning lights up depends on the manufacturer. There is no industry standard for it. But the amount is usually stated in the owner's manual.
