QUOTE(Orbituary @ Jan 7 2013, 04:11 PM) Yea, i agreed, why need to pump so much till almost overflow.. unless u know the petrol price gonna raise up very badly..thats also can enjoy 1 tank.. so, wats the point... but maybe some will say bcos of the petrol brand that they prefer or force to use selected brand like me due to using company petrol.. i am lucky bcos 1 full tank ngam ngam enuff for me to travel for 5 days.. most importantly.. organised your time properly.. Cheers! I agree to this. Its quite difficult to gauge how much more to pump after the click. I pump every weekend to get the 5X points for Maybank AMEX Card  . Usually every weekend there will always be half tank full still, maybe this will be different for certain individuals. But I guess petrol stations are everywhere even outstation This post has been edited by funnybone: Jan 7 2013, 04:16 PM |

QUOTE(FlyWheel @ Jan 7 2013, 03:40 PM) It is not advisable to pump again after the first click, I read somewhere in the past as after the first click, all subsequent fuel is not enter again into our gas tank. I can't remembered from where I read the article but if I found it later I'll post again.  yes..this article got came out from FB link also..very long time ago d  |

I didn't pump to full each time, and I didn't have any pattern like every time have to wait until the last bar, sometimes even left two or three bars and I just happened to pass by a petrol station I will pump petrol, sometimes pump $100+, sometimes $90+, sometimes $110+ and sometimes even $80+. But, as I didn't travel a lot so in overall when I total sum all the petrol bills I collected and average fuel consumption for my K5 is only at ±RM250/month. |

I don't think so. I think I always kill the engine first, before I press that fuel access button on the door. |

Bro, pls check the link below : http://www.drivearabia.com/news/2010/09/13...or-your-wallet/and please pay more attention to the below sentence : [ Modern petrol station pumps are equipped with vapour recovery systems that feed back gasoline vapours into their own tanks to prevent vapours from escaping into the air and contributing to air pollution. Any additional petrol you try to pump into your tank may be drawn into the vapour line and fed back into the station’s storage tanks.]You might end up paying more for nothing, pls check carefully with our petrol station as our system might not be the same as theirs as in the articles. |

QUOTE(bUGG @ Jan 5 2013, 10:43 AM) I think u have to check with your regular petrol station. Definitely is not 82L. Yesterday, my K5 show warning sign of petrol finishing "Distance to Empty is 50km" I remembered read your comment mentioning K5 tank is 82L. With my driving style, "AVG Fuel Economy" not more than 10L/100km, meaning rough estimation, at least I can still drive additional 50+100km "MINIMUM". So I actually drove the 50km and additional 31km and my car stalled. Luckyly it stalled 100m away from my house. I ran home, took my wife's car to buy 4L petrol. Fill up my K5 with the 4L petrol I bought. Is not easy to pour petrol into our K5, and I think I wasted about 1L of petrol. And after that, I quickly drove to petrol station, and I only manage to pump in 67L of petrol. So total together is about 70L. So conclusion, K5 is 70L as stated in the brocure, and not 82L as u mention. Even though we force in, max another 2L.... Just to share my experience. I always wanted to try how far it goes after fuel blinking, luckily not otherwise I got to get my bicycle to buy the extra fuel. (only 1 car at home). Anyway, thanks for sharing and it really light up my day after long work..certainly will share this 'joke' to my mates....take care. |

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Jan 7 2013, 01:57 PM) Yes i guessed as much. You need to continue pumping. The K5 fuel tank is different from other cars. It has a longer 'neck'. From the first click, you can easily pump in another RM20 before its really full. Thats a good 10L more. That's how i got my max 82L. WHAT!!! RM20 more?  I am speechless. I rest my case.  |

Just check again closely, I found the light is on BUT the brightness level is very low, when I move my hand under the speaker I can see my hand turn red ( as the red light on it ) but really hardly see it if not placed my hand under it. Is this normal that the brightness level that low ? |
