    MPS6..
    60L tank
    Most ever filled up is 54Litres.
    Ive found you can let the fuel needle get the point where the full width of the needle has JUST passed the E EMPTY line. Thats when i filled up with 54L.
    The 'RANGE' on the computer is VERY out. Drove for nearly 70kms when it said 0kms left...lol
    A bit like a Ford actaully...

    I have driven well past the E and still had room for more.

    The light comes on when you are 2 strokes from the E anyways..

    Its a fuel low warning light...not a no fuel light.

    Its to warn you that your car is nearing empty and to find a servo soon.

    Personally you shouldnt let your car get that low anyways.

    Happy Motoring

    Very similar with mine, fuel light on then another 100kms or so (moderate driving) was 70km or so past zero on DTE reading too. The tank took around 56litres from memory after this episode. Though I have heard that running the fuel that low can suck in sediment from the bottom of tank? Is this a myth that needs busting?

    Well it could....but you have a fuel filter...and use 98RON in a MPS.

    So....its a myth

    Most ever filled up is 60Litres+ because my car stalled on the road!!! Busy traffic road (Epping road in Sydney). So my recommendation is fill up your car when light is on... I have learnt my lesson....

    Dug's right shouldn't get to close to empty it sucks up all the crap at the bottom of the tank. Mate of mind had to get his injectors cleaned out because just after filling up with a 10 ltr jerry can the car wouldn't start so not a good idea.

    Its good that it comes on that soon, gives you enough time to find the fuel that you prefer and enough time to make it there.
