Fuel tank reserve capacity

[SC_New]

Hi,

I have a Nissan Latio CVT (2006), does anybody know how far the car can go once the 'fuel empty' light comes on? i.e. what is the size of the reserve fuel tank? my FC is now 14km/litre.


- Thanks

our fuel tank total capacity is 45l, normally will light up around 37l if i am not wrong. I ever travel when fuel light up from sengkang to outram, then back to sengkang then bukit batok before topping up around 40l, no issue

- Thanks for the info, with 10 liters I can travel quite far ,  thought it was two liters or something.

Just remembered that my car is a the 2007 version but guess that doesn't make much difference.

Bro,

Our tank is 55 L come with 5L of reserve.

So far i never try to run till red light.
Worry may out of petrol half way and cant find esso station.
Cos on company fleet card.

Also understand that.
Tank with full tanks have smaller surface for evaperation.
So it may help in our FC too.

Aiyah,

45+10+5(evaporation) = 55+5+0(evaporation)

same lah. Just pump when no petrol. Pay money and drive.

u are just 200ml away from making your car a monopoly car.

why?

You push it to the pump station.

I thot you push it past GO, and collect $200?

Does the yellow warning light go red when tank very empty???

I always ignore the yellow light. Always end up driving till way past E mark....heheh

Somehow I feel the car becomes more responsive as you near tank empty. Wonder if the combustion is programmed to go leaner towards the end...Any bro had this experience?

if your car stalls along LCK, u'll pay $200 to get someone to make your car go. LOL

got Red light meh??? never try b4.. anyone to verify this ?? haha

I think car is more responsive >> becos of the lighter weight. With 40litre of fuel almost gone, the car is like 60kg less leh

No la, 40litre of fuel is about 30kg only. The difference in engine combustion is quite obvious once the yellow light comes on. Faster acceleration from rest but when you hit above 80kph, loss of power...classic case of burning leaner...
