my car never has more than half petrol, often this means running on the red light, being a student n all.

when im on the light, for about a day, when i next start up the car i give it a social stall, and off goes the light :clapping: for about another 10 miles or so :)

i only have a lil 1.1 so it might not work on vts/vtrs with full fuel inject systems but i dunno have it a try :oops:

dunno if its my bein a tit or if theres are science behind it ? (ads)?

jus thought i would feed this back any whoo.

My fuel gauge is a fucking nutter!!!!! Sometimes when it gets really low the needle goes right upto the max, then empty, then max, then empty, then max, then empty..... then stays at empty..... when i get like 1/16th of a tank.... don't do it when its over 1/4 tank ever....

Fuck knows... French shit!

when I have no petrol left, I start the car and it says I'm on half a tank. It then waits for me to drive past the petrol station and then tells me I've got no petrol left at all :P gotta love it, it has a sense of humor :)

If the car is parked facing uphill it shows less fuel than if the car is parked facing downhill because of the floaty thing in the fuel tank!
