whoa you serious? you really shouldn't ever see that light.
or be like fynn and say "it's gonna be close" while driving on the highway with the gas light one and not really knowing where the next gas station is after passing a perfectly good gas station.

I think running to 5L left is okay.

i guess it depends on the shape and size of your tank, but i wouldn't run that low because the fuel sitting at the bottom of your tank isn't just going to just sit there, it's going to move around as you turn, accelerate and slow down. so who knows what kind of gunk collected at the bottom of the tank would be sucked up into your injectors and clogging them up. it might not happen right away, but it'll slowly eat away at them.

at least that's what i read and so i usually fill up when i have around a quarter tank left. very rarely do i see that light, and if i do my next stop is a gas station, no exceptions.

Also, wouldn't the less fuel you have in your tank increase the chance of condensation forming?
I tend to run on the too low side of things though. Always hoping for a miracle that I'll wake up one day to find gas at 55 cents/litre again.
I mean really... if we have so much oil that we can ship it to China, why are we paying so much for it?

Ahh... the whole oil cartel debate. Don't get me started on that lol

Anyway - I heard that filling up to full wastes gas too because of the extra weight. Optimum fill level would be to try to keep your tank half full. On a 50L tank, that means try to keep it at 25L. You shouldn't run it to less than 10L, so that means you only have 15L of useable fuel in your tank at any given time. Can you imagine filling up every 15L?

One time i ran the X5 to 1km left. At least that's what the computer said. Man was it hard trying to find a gas station with diesel in the states. Almost had to call BMW assist to deliver me $5 worth of gas.

The Jetta's pretty old.. If the fuel pump died just now, that was a pretty good run.

what's the mileage on it? fuel pumps on the mk4's usually need to be changed at around 150k.

changed the fuel pump on a Hyundai Pony once, the odometer only have 5 digits, so when it reached 100,000 kms it went to 00,000, just like a new car.

actually, now that i think of it, i think it's the fuel filter that should be changed at 150k. i don't remember.
either case, the filter should be changed with the injectors anyway.

I think you mean the filters need to be changed with the fuel pump.

Anyway - I'm sure Dunc's mechanic (probably Phil) should know what to do.
