Default Another question.

Should my rb5 have a petrol light? I have run it to almost below the empty line a couple of times and not once has the light come on, as far as I'm aware it doesn't have it's own fuse as there is nothing else not working.

im never seen one on my car, but tbh, its best not to let it get below 1/4 at least, fuel surge is a pita

Yeah I don't normally but I wanted to test how many miles I could get outta tank. Mind you it cost me 75 quid to fill it back up again. Not happy times. Lol

My 99uk has one and so does my 98 sti, I thought all cars should have one.





Edit: I've done 20ish miles on my uk before holding out for tesco lmao. It's fine to run them low in an emergency as long as you A: dont accelerate to hard, B: Don't corner too hard and C: keep on top of fuel filter changes etc, I also change my walbro filter out once a year too and it's always got a fare amount of crap on it.
