TA22; how empty is empty? Fri, 21 January 2005 06:39 Go to next message
ive only just got started driving my '75 TA22, and the fuel guage is on the empty line. when i turn the power off, the guage drops back down to its stops, which is another 10mm or so from the line.

my question; where about on the guage will i run out of fuel? on the line or at the bottom of the needles travel.

(yes i am a uni student)

wait until you are on the 'E' line bring a jerry can of petrol with you, reset the trip meter and drive arround until you stop.

I've wondered this myself. But I've had it at the e line, put 20litres in and it's been at half full. So I figure when it's down there it really is empty!
Would be good to find out if there's a little more there though!

when it goes just under the empty mark is usally the spot.(please don't go driving out on a open highway to test this out unless you have a jerry can with fuel in it with you) unless you had my old WB Holden ute. when the fuel gauge on it was sitting just under empty you had 35 litres of fuel still in the tank. Shocked . I should of fixed that sensor. no wonder I ran out of fuel once with it Razz

i suggest not doing this, unless you like rebuilding carbi's!

if you really wanna know, when its on the E line, drain the remaning petrol from the drain plug at the bottom of the tank, and measure/weigh how much you get out Very Happy

well, i drove about 25k's with it on the empty line, then it took 35 litres to fill it again. i i spose its a 40L tank and theres about 5L left on empty, or about 50 odd kays. that almost adds up doesn't it?
