I've always liked to play 'red light roulette' malcaptur and nearly always take my Caddy down to zero until I fill up, by my calculations I've got about 5 miles to go before I run out!
No doubt I'll get used to it

Well mine is certainly not 40 litres as I put 41 in it yesterday!JohnChambers said:What size is the fuel tank? The handbook says 40 or 45 litres depending on vehicle. I have never been able to get more than 39 litres with the light on, so I am assuming I have a 40-litre tank.
I've heard this said many times about running it very low, but I have a different theory that if from new you always run it very low then no crack will build up as its always being replenished totally rather than always leaving quarter to half a tank of old fuel (and cack) to mix with the new fuel.Frank Bullitt said:Frosty said:Ok thanks for the info, as it's my first Renault I wasn't aware they don't count down to zero.

I used to do that until it cost me a new Fuel Pump on a Fiat Punto JTD - continually running the tank close to empty (well, 49.18 litres in a 49 litre tank is fairly close...) dragged all the cack through it. Now I just brim it at my first chance when the fuel light comes on.
Frosty, I'm with you on this one, I run mine as low as I dare then fill up. I've only had mine since Tuesday and have already run the needle below the gauge.Frosty said:I've heard this said many times about running it very low, but I have a different theory that if from new you always run it very low then no crack will build up as its always being replenished totally rather than always leaving quarter to half a tank of old fuel (and cack) to mix with the new fuel.Frank Bullitt said:Frosty said:Ok thanks for the info, as it's my first Renault I wasn't aware they don't count down to zero.

Maybe I'm wrong and a mechanic will blow this theory away but I've just turned 125000 miles with no fuel problems.
God I hate tempting fate![]()
