Big Nasty wrote: » Try an 85L tank. Then try filling it from near empty @ €1.70 / ltr. :eek: Thankfully I've only a 70L tank to fill now and fuel is a little cheaper.

Bpmull wrote: » that just sounds like the gauge is reading of by a quarter so most likely at 0 in your car there would be a quarter of a tank left. But thats assuming the gauge is still working and just reading off. I suppose it's not worth chancing. My focus wouldn't work when it got to 1/4 of a tank as it had no lift pump I learned that the hard way though by spending 4 hours sitting on the hard shoulder of the m8 waiting for a tow truck.
