I don't think there is one, but it's been a while since I saw an STI with the old dash.

I believe the petrol lights didn;t appear until after the 97 facelift...

Must be the MY00 or something when they added the petrol light, I assumed it was when the MOMO wheels and the indicators changed sides..

Anyway MY96 has no petrol light, UK, WRX and STI.. as far as I am aware anyway..

So don't run out of petrol waiting for light..

I can run mine to middle of the E on the gauge and it then takes about 55litres to fill.. so there is 5litres layering bottom of tank and it coughs on fast bends..

Be careful - I heard that some of the early cars had a 50 litre tank, not a 60 litre.

It's a November 96, do you think this is a 50ltrs or 60ltrs?

I'm not sure - it's just something I remember from the SIDC FAQ.

I have never put more than 48 litres in my 96 UK at a time, so unless my petrol gauge is being conservative (no bad thing) I have a 50 litre tank.
