Expanding petrol tank?

vin.p, Jan 13, 6:26pm
My tank used to take 33Ltrs to fill from empty. Today i filled it to 39. Anyone else get this! Yup sure I expect extra$$ but litrage!

I immediately wonder about the calibration of the fuel pump. Go back and see if it has a valid cert.

What make!model car and what is the capacity of the tank, maybe you just went further than usual!

How do you know it was actually "empty"! Did you run out of fuel and push your car all the way to the petrol station! And in my experience, no car has a 33 litre tank, unless it's some micro car.

you probably just used more of it.

Theres generally 10 litres difference from the "E" or fuel light coming on and actually running out of fuel.

You probably used more of the 'reserve' petrol in the tank before filling it up again.

Its all a plot by the fascist Govt and corrupt Police to fleece the poor NZ public.

The only way you could easily expand a fuel tank is to drop a match into it.

if you had have bought a fiat or vw you would not be having this problem.
