Confused
 
Easy I know ..... but, I can only ever get 43'ish Litres of fuel in my tank, whatever I do.

I have run it until I dare not run it anymore, way after the light has come on - fill up and it accepts just around 43 Litres.

This made me think, for years, that I had a 45 Litre tank ...... but everyone says I should have a 60 Litre tank on my UK MY00 Classic.

Now, maybe I have 15 Litres in the tank when it shows as totally empty - or, I have a 45 Litre tank?

Hiya Mac ... I said a tattoo was 'very nice' and got infracted for it :(

It can all be viewed in Policy ....

Nice to see you are still here and the bad boys haven't got you yet .... and yes, I am appealing :D

Anyway - about my tank .......

Alan MaC 05 May 2008 08:19 PM

Evening Pedro,

I will look on policy out of interest.

As you know, we have had our differences in the past, no way would I call in the Fun Police and, neither would you.

To me it's all a bit of banter.

Good Luck.

Mr MaC ( can't say anal any more!!)

pslewisisappealing 05 May 2008 08:22 PM

We have had our run-ins ..... and we have had some good banter. It's a shame it is being ruined by a few A*ALS :lol1:

Poke your nose in Policy and have a gander at how terrible I have been ;)

By the way - how big is my tank?? :D

Alan MaC 05 May 2008 08:30 PM

It's a Sherman!!

At least 70 Litres!

WTF is Policy on this site???

Regards

Bottie MaC

Ignore the guage, its very anal- it shows empty for ages...you can get at least another 50miles out of it after its past below the "E"

The Impreza does have a very clever audible warning system which alerts you when one is actually low on fuel:

If you start to hear the fuel pump gurgling or whining...time to find a petrol station sharpish :D

pslewisisappealing 05 May 2008 09:15 PM

I did hear the pump gurgling the other morning when I was trying to work out the size of the tank. I went to the station straight away - 44 Litres!!

I'm at my wits end.

Alan MaC 05 May 2008 09:41 PM

Pedro,

I just don't understand???

On the Tattooing thing (unless there's something I'm missing) :wonder:


The others the same????


Oh and by the way, MY BOY IS A TOP TATTOOIST!!!!

NO JOKE!!


I just don't understand it????



AS I've said, unless there's something I'm Missing.:wonder: :wonder: :wonder:

You are not missing a thing ... it is as pathetic as it appears.

Someone is being made to look very foolish, and it isn't me!

SwissTony 05 May 2008 09:50 PM

pete

its a 55 litre tank..I should know, I have the same scoob

pslewisisappealing 05 May 2008 09:52 PM

Cheers Swiss .... that would explain it a bit, but why can I only get 43 Litres in?

I have tried to fill up the tank and I mean run it empty !!
Reserve is about 22-23 miles motoring so at best guess you have about 4-5 litres in there, maybe more.

The most I have ever managed to squeeze into the tank is 50 litres, so it means that you are not running as dry as you can .....

deangtiuk 05 May 2008 09:59 PM

Just a thought but you haven't got any damage to the underside of your fuel tank, ie where someone as accidently tried to jack it up and caused that to take part of the capacity away. If not I wouldn't be worrying about it.

pslewisisappealing 05 May 2008 10:07 PM

Thats a very good thought ..... it's fine, however. :thumb:

Alan MaC 05 May 2008 10:30 PM

Pedro,

On the Tank thing, mine holds 60 litres.

does it matter whether it is a 100 litre or 20 litre tank...you can only go so far in it :D

pslewisisappealing 05 May 2008 10:54 PM

If it was a 0.5 litre tank it would matter!! ;)

Maybe that's why my Impreza is faster than others I meet? It's carrying less fuel?

well the people at the local garage would be peeved when you ignored the 2 litre minimum sign then :)

and if you met a scoob that had only a qtr tank full, would yours still be quicker :D

pslewisisappealing 05 May 2008 11:32 PM

Of course ..... mine is driven by a very experienced driver - and I don't make way for anyone (but then I bet you guessed that in any case ;) )
