awdG35killer Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 as soon as i got on the freeway for a 1hr drive the light came on, the computer said [ 50mi. -->Empty ] which was more than enough to get home in 45 minutes the comp said [ --- mi. -->Empty ] and i freaked out cuz i had miles to drive and no gas station in sight. i finally filled up and it came to 15.942gallons ;0 i coulda sworn we had a 14.9 tank. but i found in a search it was actually 16.9 gallons, so i guess i had 18 miles more to go *phew* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Good thing you didn't get stuck! Weird though, that you live in LA and there was no gas station in sight! -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I recommend refilling the car when it hits the last quarter of fuel left to reduce as much as possible the stirring and uptake of the sediments at the bottom of the tank, which could clog the fuel line filter.

MotoFanatic Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 They actually recommended that in the manual or one of those quarterly Subie mag. I forget which one.

boostsr20 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 When I changed the fuel pump last year in my 97 Nissan there wasn't a spec of anything in the gas tank...... I think if you use good gas and don't fill up when there is a tanker at the gas station then you will be fine running it down under a 1/4 tank.

Beanboy Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Well if you drive to empty since new, there's no chance for sediment to build-up. -B http://www.standardshift.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
