warning lang yan. in my innova j gas, meron pa akong 10 liters (more or less) pag nag warning na.

it may vary from car to car... usually it's telling you to fill up already... You have to NOT run low on gas because when you do, some little debris or those tiny particles may go down and clog your fuel pump...

remember ang coolant ng pump motor ay ang gasoline mismo

oh yeah, nung bago ko pa lang dina-drive yung car ko merong once na na-run out ako ng fuel sa freeway... kala ko kase may enough pa, sanay ako sa previous car ko nagra-run ng fuel that low before filling up...

Same with mine.

To check the capacity of your reserve, check the capacity of your tank (innova, has 55 liters). Pag umilaw ang gas warning light, re-fill at the next gas station (again sa innova it's about 45 liters). Ang difference ay ang iyong reserve gas.

For an Innova, who has a consumption of 8 kms / liter (in a very heavy traffic scenario), after the warning lit off, it could still run about 80 kilometers before it would totally empty.

Most cars warn you if you have 5-10 liters left. The easiest way to find out is to find out your tank capacity, refill right away when the warning light comes on, and check how many liters it takes to fill the tank.

My tank is 55 liters, and my warning light comes on when I still have 10 or more liters left.

Heck, I drive the car till there's just one liter left in the tank, sometimes...
