steb9780 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Just out of interest how much juice is left in the tank wen the fuel light comes on. I know the girlfriends Civic is about 7 litres, is the Sup something similar?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 enough to get you not very far TBH i would try not to let it run that low as an old tank fills up with loads of shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Well, it's a 70 Litre tank. When the light comes on how much fuel do you need to put in to fill it up? As for old crap in the tank, I've never seen any in the fuel tank when I've fitted fuel pumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim_1979 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 8 to 10 litres will get you how many miles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermonkey Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 don't they have plastic tanks, shouldn't corrode and get crap in them, might be wrong thou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 at a guess I'd say maybe you could do 50 miles at a push but I woudn;t wanna risk it, probably best off doing no more than 10-15miles and playing it safe - best to just fill it up whenever it is a bit low - even before the light comes on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terawua Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 As jake says, the tanks are plastic so no problems with corrosion and a healthy weight saving too, therefore they dont have that much gunk in them. I used to fill mine just aftert he light came on, and it would take anywhere from 60-65 litres, so I would say about 9 litres when the light comes on.

Ric Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 does the supra have a fuel light? never seen the supra below half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_a Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 The gunk in the tank is an old wives tale. Think about it, does the fuel line run from the top of the tank or the bottom? Because the line is at the bottom of the tank (to allow it to empty) it is already sucking juice from the bottom of the tank so trying to keep at least half a tank in to prevent he fuel coming from the nether regions of your tank doesn't work, any bits will already be working their way to your injectors. m.

Ian R Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 1/4 full and I fill up anything under that and I start getting worried when the next petrol station will turn up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I ran mine out of fuel pretty recently... It went for around 25-30 miles before it ran out, but I was not really, ahem, taking it steady.. and it wasn't running very efficiently either. long story...
