Hi there, I was wondering if anybody knows roughly how many miles I will get after the petrol light comes on (1999 classic) ?

Cheers, Kind Regards Alex.

 

I have done over 30 with the light on

 

never seen the light and tank was on empty line ??????

 

Mine came on the other day and drove about 10 miles with it on and brimmed the tank with 50 litres aprox my99 type r

 

To the nearest petrol pump. Not worth risking a lean mixture due to lack of fuel. My bug went VERY low and I nearly S'd my pants with the noises it made. Coaxed to nearest pump £5 in then to Tesco to brim the tank.

 

When I changed my fuel pump,I waited till the light came on and there was roughly about 7ltrs in the tank. I have done 30+ miles when the light has come on in the past,but I always take it steady till I can find a tesco or a shell garage as I wont use anything else.

 

Supposed to be 2 gallons, so no more than 50 miles to abslote empty, which I'd NOT want to do.

 

What petrol light??

 

On 98 - 00 model cars there is a low fuel (petrol) light on the dash, this is not available on the earlier classics 93 - 97.

 

Yeah I know, hence the "What light??" comment, both early 90`s Japanese cars I have do not have a petrol light.
Tbh mine has been well off the below empty mark when the petrol station I wanted to go to was closed forcing me to go elsewhere.
