Just wondering how many kms would your FTO clocked before the fuel light comes on. Also how much fuel is left once the warning light is on.

620kms before my light came on,most of that is highway k's.Most would have to allow for extra urban consumption.

the final line on the guage is 8L i.e. 8 litres left. My light comes on under that line which I have discovered is about 5L...its more important to know this cos if your driving hard...5L might only go 30km...if you driving normal 5L gets you another 70km. This ii what I have found others may have different ideas.

I think this would vary from FTO to FTO and is a guide only. My light for example comes on well before the line. Anyone thats changed dials etc could probably understand how easy it would be to make these read different.

I never let my fuel light comes on, as there are usually crap load of dirt or unburned fuel residual at the bottom of the tank. And you can use your little imagination what will happen to the fuel line or your engine when you leave it to almost empty & sucking all those "goodies".

Yes but filter don't trap everything does it? If it does then it just block the fuel line
