    Depending on how your right foot travels on the GO pedal is to how many kms u can get until it dies on you.

    Some people say 50-100kms until dead.
    But ive never tested it so i cant confirm that.
    dont worry, il start a ride thread soon.

    Its probably best to just fill up and not find out since it'll most likely result in a buggered fuel pump which are pains in the arse to replace being in the tank. Thats when you run out of fuel and look like a fool

    fuel light to you're walking is either 6l. personally i try to never let it get to the light because a)my fuel pump howls when level is low and b) the fuel pump is cooled by its immersion in fuel. no fuel= no cool= pump is for decoration only
