Default the stall technique

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 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

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

jus thought i would feed this back any whoo.

Luke

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 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!
