actually ar..how much does our blm tanks hold?..

from spec, is 40 liter max.

u get the blinking low fuel warning...

that one all car also blinking if low fuel...

yep i guess that 10L is reserved like many other car also...

when u get that warning ur car still can go so much further...i got blinking low fuel when i stuck in traffic jam at lowyat plaza until cheras ....after get to cheras still i could run few more kilometres before i reach petrol station...i never dare to go any further...

i dunno la..but specs shows 40L..you could try fill full tank after the first low fuel warning...if u get around 30L then can assume u have 10L as reserve fuel

the tank itself is shape like the meter...big until small...that's why the 1st 2 bar goes a long way before it drops and the last 2 bar drop fastest
after it started to blink...usually still have around 12-13L of fuel inside..
every bar is how much is dn't know cuz it shapes like the meter....

my fuel warning will turn on when my km reach around 300km - 320km...but i will add another 50km before refuel...

Technical specs, tank capacity 40l , reserve 8litre. But the reserve part varies from car to car because of the fuel pump floating styrofoam is quite different in each car, this i dono why. Usually +- 1 to 2 litres. Mine is 9litre reserve. Only can masuk 31litre before overflow.

Only twice or thrice my fuel blinking ~ Usually will go and pump when it left 1 bar ~ If leave it, feel that it would be too risky especially during jam ~

Kena one time, suddenly dropped left one bar and stuck in jam not even half way ~ Ouh takutnye ~ Off the aircon ~ and it's a Hot Day ~ Then jalan jalan a while then it naik to 2 bars back pulak mmm ~

Now oni know that our 6 bars indicates 30 liters and 10 liter is not shown in the bar ~ Learn new thing ~

maybe since was a hot day , it could regenerate the petrol back hmm hmm ... park your car below sun ... save petrol !!

jgn takut, silverchair can drive another 50km after fuel low

digital meter is like this one......not very accurate

tdy just changed from 195/50 to 185/55 NCT5...most chapalang tire...need to pay additional rm100 and not to mention the time wasted to drive all the way to rawang...

update: my rear left can put 5+ fingers while the rear left only can fit 4 fingers (the space between tire and rear fender)...wtf is this shit...

bro check with tyre calculator. you tyre diameter is still bigger than stock...and your older 195/50 is smaller than stock...

but difference like 0.XX % only so dont worry la

Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
185/60-14 4.4in 11.4in 22.7in 71.4in 887 0.0%
185/55-15 4.0in 11.5in 23.0in 72.3in 876 1.2%


i think spring problem... can check with sc

can u all check the space between the tires n fenders?

Guys,

got my Saga already, damn happy with the car. . Btw I feel that my B-line tyre is quite noisy... What value for money silent tires are out there ?

i kena 1 time beofre. i tot when started to blink got 10 liter can at least tahan another 100km. Mana tau the next morning i go work(usually when blinking i reset the meter to monitor how much further can i go) ngam2 a few meter to my office my engine suddenly stop. the meter only shows 58.7km oni. the night before dat i bring my fren yamcha on strong aircond la. dat time i dun even stuck in jam. next time i dun wana gamble, reach 45-50km after blinking i will go pump edi.

btw i notice when we on aircond and when the car is in idle mode will waste a lot of fuel. i heard voltage stabilizer can help reduce FC up to 10-15% if u use alot of aircond when driving. i wana pasang ngv but where got so much money install dat expensive thing. Now i start looking for good and cheap voltage stabilizer adnd that magnetic item that you clip at your oil tank to engine host.
