Justin Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I know that: Full tank is 70 litres 1/2 tank is 35 litres 1/4 tank is 17.5 litres But where is 1/4 of a tank on the gauge? What do the other two notches mean? Do they represent 1/4 and 3/4 of a tank even though they are not visually saying that? I'm trying to work out when I have 19 litres left in the tank on the gauge so that I can syphon out what's left and replace it with 19 litres of race fuel. Or should I work it out this way - 1 notch on the gauge = 4.117 litres 70 litres / 17 notches (including an extra notch for the reserve fuel) = 4.117 Therefore I should empty whats left at the 3rd visible notch on the gauge? Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun. Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 It's a shame really, all that money and investment and the fuel gauge is "random". Would be nice to know what the 1/4 tank indication was "roughly" indicating - it's not 1/4 of a tank for sure. Shaun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Well the line where the needle is at on that picture is around 6 litres of fuel with whatever else is left around. I fill up at that point every time to save going to a non-Shell garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
