Hey,

So i've only put in two tanks of fuel in my 01' C32 since I bought it and this has happened both times..

I arrive home with just under 1/4 of a tank.. and then start the car up the next time (at least a 5 hour gap) and the petrol light is on! I drove the car 12 hours ago and it was sitting on around 1/4 and now it says I have 11km until I'm out of fuel.

Any idea what this is about?

I only have done 290km since I filled the tank and don't think it should be time to fill it up again?

1. warning light comes on at just below 1/4 tank.
2. it's a C32. it doesn't have good mpg if you live in the city.

So when I was driving yesterday I remember seeing 97km left in the range at some point.. and now it's 11km..

I drove a max of 30km in that difference..

What is a good mpg or L/100km?

Beaker

ok so i did the maths.. if I'm on 17L/100km that means I've gone through 51L or so as I've travelled roughly 300km.

The C32 has a 60L tank with the reserve coming on at 52L correct? So maybe it is all good..it's just twice now i've parked the car and the reserve light wasn't on and I've started it and it's been on - just what i've observed and thought there might be something going on..

It takes 62 Liter, 8 Liter Reserve.

Beaker

Hmm yes.. so there is something wrong.

Phil_W

What should be wrong?

290km - 54l


so u need ca. 18l - 100km

This is usual for c32 if you drive a little bit faster.
You can go under 10l, but it that makes no fun.

Edit: Maybe its many colder since the second start...so the gas needs less volume.

Beaker

What is wrong is that I've gone through about 54L - 290KM but the petrol light isn't meant to come on until 62L correct?
