glrnet Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Just wondered what's the most fuel you've managed to get in the Zed? I think the tank might be a tad over 80 litres, it'd be interesting to know if anyone has filled up from completely empty. This all started a couple of weeks ago when I did the inaccurate fuel gauge fix, at that point I managed 74.6 litres. Today my Tesco 10p off a litre vouchers arrived so I duly tootled off to Toscos and saved the best part of £30.00 for a tankful, happy days Anyway result was as follows:- 79.18 litres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did you have a hole in the tank and put 300 litres in! I would take a look at those pain killers your taking mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomS Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I've had the DTE say 15 miles and I could only put 64 litres in. So the DTE obviously underestimates itself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said his vouchers arrived, so he could have had all 5 totaling 50p off per litre Oh yea, and the most i've got in was 72.08, but my gauge is about 15 litres out so it's pretty much guess work from when ever the computer goes "-- --" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4RE Leather Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Many years ago I ran a 3.0 Granada out of fuel and had problems with it for months afterwards. It would cough and splutter at will and ended up stripping down the carb. Kind of stuck with me and now i won't let either of my cars run under a third full!

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Well you could baffle the women with your maths! I could as I'm really good at it, however I use an app to work out my car fuel figures. It tracks every fill up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
