Hey guys, rmbr a few posts back i said i will test how much petrol there was in the tank when the fuel light started to come on? (if not, go back a few pages and read up, then read this lol), well I DID! LOL... at the time i scared i wont make it home cuz not enough fuel O.O
The test:
I was on my way home from JB on North-South Highway, and my sis was driving my car.. so i was in the passenger seat at the back. I fell asleep and when i woke up, i check to see the meter at how fast she was going-->it was abt 140kmph... then i lay back down... BUT then, i realise smtg different... i saw the AMBER LIGHT light on... Were in the middle of the highway, about 35KM to the next stop petrol station with my car running on one blinking bar of petrol... SOOOO... i was thinking.. why is my sister still revving the car at 140 still so ganas on the highway... =.='' (eventually i told her to go at 80kmph scared stranded).
She asked me whether can make it anot.. then i think, i dunno le.. i think can, not sure...so i told her.. "Can make it", since she driving, better dun make her scared. LOL.
So anyway, I remembered wat we talked about the past few days on the reserve tank being how large. So wat better way to test it than NOW! LOL.
Going at 80kmph for the next 30km to the rest area...
The Conclusion:
We arrived at the petrol station with what i was thinking, 2L of petrol left... AND GUESS WAT>>>> SERIOUSLY HAVE A GUESS... let me help u out with these facts
1) Light turned on at abt 35km from stop (going at 80kmph for 30km)
2) I already drove about 310KM@140kmph before that... so total of 345KM (BTW i think my FC is quite high RM0.155/KM)

The first sentence before the 'The conclusion' word, look at the first digit.
Shocking isnt it! I can assure u that my tank was full to the brim with an additional fuel being carried around in the tank.

So wat i figured was that, the reserve tank is reli wat i stated b4 (which is the answer) but the light blinks before that. I think the one who decided on when the light shud come on tot of msians attitude in mind.. ALWAYS LAST MINUTE!.. so better safe than sorry, so the light come on before the reserve tank is used.
P/S: Light come on = dun wori.. plenty left!!! PECUT ONLY!
