55 litre fuel tank

[TonyJZX]

can i ask why an LS1 has such a small tank???

sure i can get 750km on the hwy but it's dreadful around town

you would think they'd put in a real tank of say 80 litres

anyway that's my rant of the day

um, the vt/vx has a 75l tank.

lull their 75 ltr tanks..

 

[TonyJZX]

i can only get in 55 litres

mine was dead empty today... 55 to full

never ever paid more than $75 or so to fill a tank

maybe mine is weird?

or you servo is ripping themselfs off

 

[TonyJZX]

i would so like this to be the case lol

Some say there is a reserve amount, or the calibration allows for a reserve so when it says empty or 0km to empty there is actually sufficient amount to get you to the servo. Mines get at about 15L left.

Physically the tank has 75L, it is likely your gauge needs recalibrating. I've had mine read 12km to zero. And filled up only to discover there is some 10L left in the tank. The VT/VX really do have perhaps the most unreliable fuel gauges known to man. It would be almost more relaible to use the force to figure out what's left in you tank.

Your distance to empty might need to be recalibrated, holden can do this at a price of course.

Keep 20 litres of fuel in the boot. run it to 65 litres used and you will find it's got more inside the tank. my silly fuel warns me around 48-55 litres and it looks dead empty with 20-0km's left.
