Lol quoting myself, im not joking. But the weird thing is i think i have a bigger tank than everyone, my fuel light was just coming on for a little bit and going back out etc and i filled up at the service station 65 litres?

and i do work at bp and know that the pump has been calibrated recently, is there an fto model that came out with a 70litre tank?

And i was "clicking" the buzzer for about 15 litres, until it came out the spout.

Get under your car, just in front of the rear muffler there should be a long range marker there. Go check it out to see if you have it!
