They should have 2 lol.

Your range will get down to 50km, then when it drops below that it'll change to --- and a 'ding' will sound. Then theres another later on.

What does the ding sound like, is it pleasant or irritating? Better than a slap on your face by your partner?

Not to be off topic, I've fuelled up about 44L leaving about 1L theoretically in my tank (colt). I could hear the fuel pump whizz, so I guess that's the low fuel warning indicator in my car

(I know I know, it's bad for the pump and sediments at the bottom can cause damage so I don't do this nearly as often as I previously did).

I done 40km from the 2nd warning. Wagga in wagga and no fuel stations open at 12oclock on the public holiday. But I made in back.

I got that wrong wagga is 95.5 km away so it would be around 70-75km on the second warning. :lol:

Its not the worst sound but it definately gets your attention.
Do you have a current gen colt? I would've thought they'd be the same, I wouldn't know though.

Looks like I'm not the only one that tried something this stupid and succeeded

By current gen colt I hope you don't mean the Micra, I mean Mirage. Sorry I get those two confuse.

Thankfully no, mine is the previous gen angular cubist minivan beast that is trubo charged

It does have a low fuel lamp warning light at approx 12L, but no warning sound. Some call it povo pack, I call it "simplicity".

Sorry to go off topic.

I thought non RA/EVO was a 55 or 57 litre tank....

I had also read that the 1st warning with the constant flashing of the petrol symbol is approx. 8 litres remaining. The 2nd warning with the 'double speed' flashing (and needing to press the button to clear it) is then 5 litres remaining.....

2nd ding I always then calculate on 50-60kms remaining to find a fuel stop.

Most I've filled is about 54 litres

hmm thats weird! ive went through all the warning lights till it had no bars left LOL but when i filled up it took 52 litres

so doesnt it have like 7 litres left ? or is it a safety thing

I think I have you all beat!

+ I'm sure i have written this somewhere before...

Anyway... took a trip to Melbourne, low fuel came on, so I punched up the next BP servo on the Garmin Nuvi. I came across a caltex, but checking the distance according the GPS it was only 10 more k's to the servo, so I drove past with 1 blue bar left.
I got to where the service station was suppose to be, to find there was nothing but bush.. within a 1k of driving past the ghost BP station, my bars went away... I pulled up the servo list and kept driving thinking another (any station) would be a head.. 64km went past before I got to the Albury North Service station.

Filled 54.35L to the brim of my 55L tank! - 560km out of an Evo Tank!

Holy crap! This thread is delivering the info

See, I wondered whether 55L meant the tank itself, tank and lines to the engine, return lines from the engine, the filler neck... I wouldn't've thought it possible to fill up that much, but looks like 55L might actually be the usable capacity.

How good is the feeling, after running on fumes, short-shifting and easy on the throttle and cursing every red light, to fill it up and floor it away from the servo

Nah, im sure i had a couple of litres left in the tank, I never hit the spluttering/ coughing stage of no fuel in the pumps!

Thank you for testing this for me

the manual says 8lt and 5lt as tarquin said but no mention of the constant orange warning
