    But, if magpapafull tank ka, better to use the slow setting. Pumping fuel is like soda, nagbububbles pag masyado mabilis, so keep it slow so you can let the fuel settle and you get to fill the tank talaga.

    Most pump attendants naman pag magfufull tank, 1 or 2 lang gamit, not 3 (fastest).

    Nung nilabas namin sa casa yung sasakyan nag pa gas kami sa caltex silver unleaded... Advisable ba or it's must na sa caltex ulit ako mag pa gas?

    If hindi naman must, Do I need to empty the fuel first bago ako mag pa gas sa ibang gas station like petron or shell?

    Thanks!
    Sir dhisky,

    Congrats po sa New Ride,

    About naman po sa fuel pag dating sa gasoline, kahit anong brand pa yan at pag haluin ang octane rating, no problem po yan, sa long as po na "Gasoline", wag lang "Diesel"

    Nope. Fill rate is set by the lever that's on the pump nozzle.

    Most people prefer the fastest fill rate so they can get on with their journey quicker. If you want it slower, all you have to say to the pump attendant is "uno lang ha". This refers to just the first click of the nozzle lever which corresponds to the slowest fill rate.

    all current gasoline fuels are mix-able with each other, with no ill-effects.
    just be sure your engine's octane requirement is met.
    same with diesel fuels.

    yespo.. it depends on the car. some owners' manuals have that info mentioned.. new owners should scan that manual.. especially if the owner is a noobie.

    It really depends per car, but usual is about 8-10L.

    I once drove my Ranger from Camarines Norte to Camarines Sur (100+ km) with the fuel warning light already on and the needle already pointed at E, umabot naman. When I filled up, I consumed 74L, so it means I still had 6L in my 80L tank.

    More recently I drove my Vios up until the needle was already way under the E mark, but when I filled up, 32L palang so may 10L pa since 42L ang tangke.

    Point is, when the warning light shows up, fill up already. But if you can't, there's enough left in your tank to get you to the nearest gas station you can find.

    Thanks. For sure 100-120Kph takbo mo or more pa. Vios talagang matipid ata. Plan ko nga din pa full tank pag nag E na, but since every week me rollback P500 lng muna pakarga ko, hehe sayang din.

    *dr.d - salamat and sa manual namin generic lang sinabi at conservative na mag refill once mag warning na

    generic manual.. oh well..
    yes, i also fill up asap when that warning light goes up.
    i also played chicken with the fuel gauge in my earlier years, and i lost. fortunately, the gas station was within walking distance. the real problem was where to place the fuel and bring it to the car..
