couple of questions
1) What is the fuel tank capacity of the 1995 GPX?
2) Are the throttles normally so light your foot aches from holding it off (yeah yeah - laugh all you want!)

Nope, 70lts
I had a drain plug installed, completely drained it and refilled it, with foam installed it took 68lts.

Re: couple of questions
Then pull it out of gear. Leaving the clutch depressed for extended periods will cause premature wear of the thrust bearing - aka box out to replace.brad_gpx wrote:my clutch is the opposite its really heavy, my foot gets sore if i leave my foot on the clutch at light

Re: couple of questions
thats interesting actually as I have put just over 60l in before and wasnt out of fuel? is there a chance that some may of been fitted with say a different tank? like they used up some old tanks they had around before new ones were availible etc?

Re: couple of questions
Servo's arent dodge the pumps actually calibrated to compensate for when the fuel shrinks, so your getting that little bit extra. Also I filled up my car 65L just after they calibrated the pumps and it had just reached the fuel light so still had that 3 litres or so left. So yes id say it has around a 70L tank up to the spout.

Re: couple of questions
if it's a 70L tank, then 5 or 10L is unusable...
I've actually ran out of fuel before (as in I had to call RACQ to come to me on the side of the rd), and when I filled it up after, I only managed to squeeze in just over 60L (including the 5L RACQ put it), have to admit I didn't fill it up till it spilled out. And once before I have sqeezed in 64L, but that did overflow.
just my 2 cents worth
