Will I make it? - Kezzieboy - 10-08-2012
So...how big is the fuel reserve on a 306?
Here's the deal, my commute is 50 miles each way (TR15 1SS to PL15 8HW, if you want to look on google maps), and I made it to work without the red light coming on.
The needle is just under an 1/8th, I'd say, having done 680 miles since filling up.
There's a fuel station 10 miles in, but then nothing until I get home.
So, will I make it home, or should I fill up?

Go for it
RE: Will I make it? - Midnightclub - 10-08-2012
It'll make that no problem if you aren't hooning, can do almost 100 miles from when the light very first comes on
RE: Will I make it? - Toms306 - 10-08-2012
You'll be fine, there's plenty in there!
RE: Will I make it? - Poodle - 10-08-2012
Would be pretty close... Go for it, should be fine if you drive carefully.

Do iiit! Live life on the line
RE: Will I make it? - Toms306 - 10-08-2012
If you're worried about it........get a can full of diesel from the one at 10 miles.....just incase.
RE: Will I make it? - Just Sean - 10-08-2012
But once you go dry in a diesel your pretty f*cked!
RE: Will I make it? - Midnightclub - 10-08-2012
Not really, it's not exactly good for it but if you fill her up and prime it a few times before cranking it should be fine
RE: Will I make it? - Poodle - 10-08-2012
^^^ This. Although it is reputed to kill lift pumps.

Fuu prick.
RE: Will I make it? - Kezzieboy - 10-08-2012
Does anyone know how much is actually left after the red light comes on?
RE: Will I make it? - Just Sean - 10-08-2012
Danny says 100miles on a hdi!
RE: Will I make it? - Toms306 - 10-08-2012
Its about a gallon Kez.....60 miles.
RE: Will I make it? - darrenjlobb - 10-08-2012
If your driving right past a fuel station, why would you want to risk it lol? Am i missing something here heh? Or is it just to see how many miles you can get ?
RE: Will I make it? - Connor - 10-08-2012
Just don't turn the engine off once its really low, like i did the other night
and then spend half an hour in a car park trying to get the airlock out of the lines
RE: Will I make it? - Midnightclub - 10-08-2012
Handbook says '6.5 litres' when the fuel light comes on, like i said before just as it comes on you can get about 100 miles til empty
RE: Will I make it? - Toms306 - 10-08-2012
I meant a useable gallon left lol......if you use 6.4 of them litres and go uphill or roundabout there could be an issue lol.
RE: Will I make it? - Kezzieboy - 10-08-2012
Ideal, if its a gallon I'll easily make it, if the light comes on in the first 10 miles I'll probably pussy out though
I don't like to make one of the guys I liftshare with late, he's very irritable lol
RE: Will I make it? - Midnightclub - 10-08-2012
You're driving, he should man the f*ck up
RE: Will I make it? - silverzx - 10-08-2012
Pfft, it'll be fineeee!
RE: Will I make it? - Kezzieboy - 10-08-2012
Boom, ~730 before the red light came on, 59.8MPG, so damn close to 60!!

RE: Will I make it? - Midnightclub - 11-08-2012
To be fair, I filled up the 6' before i came to Ace and only filled up yesterday.. 450 miles i think it was?
RE: Will I make it? - rocker8742 - 11-08-2012

RE: Will I make it? - Midnightclub - 12-08-2012
