Low fuel light.... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Mooch · 11-24-2007, 01:47 PM

Since I can't find this information anywhere in my manual, can someone give me an idea of how much fuel is in the tank when the light goes on? I usually get it filled up ASAP, but if I am ever in a bind, I'd like an idea how much further I can go before running completely out.

Thanks!

Around 60 to 80kms maybe.

it all depends...how heavy your car it, rolling resistance, aero drag, cross winds, air temp, road grade..and many other factors
but ya get fuel asap!

38l to fill up when the light comes on. That means there is 13l left in the tank.

so 13l in tank under ideal conditions
so the fuel pump does not sit right at the bottom of the fuel tank
add the baffles (to prevent fuel from sloshing around) in i am guessin the pump can not pickup 5L of fuel
so in the real world about 8 liter left in tank!!!!

Wow, I have never run my car that low on fuel. I didn't realize it had a low fuel light.
