Petrol Indicator ?

Question:
I drive Toyota Carina 1.3.

Yesterday, while driving, I saw "amber" light popping up on my petrol indicator, showing the car running out of petrol, however, after it remained there constantly, I managed to drive around 5-6 miles.

Are there any good cleaners that remove tire marks from concrete?

I just wonder, how many litres/gallons of petrol does car have once it starts to show this amber low-petrol indicator light ?

To know roughly check your user manuals specifications or with Toyota.

If you want to know exactly how much petrol is left for your particular car, well then carry at least one (say five litres) can of petrol or more in the boot and set your odometers trip to zero once the petrol light appears on. Then continue to drive until the car stops and then pour in say four litres and see if the light goes out, add more fuel to see if the light goes out etc etc (on level ground) and also note the miles done on the odometer's trip.

Say the car does 30 miles to the gallon and the trip has 45 miles on it then the reserve was about 1.5 gallons / the 45 miles!

Best of luck its useful to know the exact amount for what ever you are driving, but running out of petrol is bit drastic but the only real way to know exactly how far you can still drive for with whatever car you have and for the way and the places you normally drive.

However just over a gallon or so is probably what the light is designed to indicate, usually light on means find petrol asap! Cheers...

Does my 1991 Ford Taurus have a short circuit?

There's no definite answer of how much fuel is left (9 litres I think) but Toyota played on the safe side when they designed it, so 30 miles isn't unheard of. Most of the courtesy cars at my work seem to run on vapours as customers "forget" to refuel them after using them. Drive much further and you're playing russian roulette with a long walk to a garage.

Why couldn't I jump-start my car with a 70-amp charger?

i think it depends on the car. I use to have a fiesta that would drive a day on red. then a corsa i used, once the light was on, you wouldn't make it to the end of the block.

my 89 ford probe was driving then just stalled and will not start no spark and fuel pump is not working??

Check the owners manual, it should tell you the capacity of the tank, when the light comes on fill the car and make note of how many litres it took to fill, subtract that from total capacity and you will know how much is left in the tank when the light comes on . If you know what your fuel mileage is you can figure out pretty close the distance you can travel before it's time to walk.

Normally about a gallon (4.5 litres)

Who here feels like Michelins are crap tires; overpriced and overrated what else! French made!?

it's generally 10% if your car holds 50 litres of fuel when you fill up the it will come on when you got 5 litres left, use a rough guide of 10miles/litre, so 5 litres will see you good for 50 miles, check your hand book for tank size and hey presto.. ya laughing

The best advice is to fill up with fuel as soon as possible once that light comes on.

On the car, where can I?

If you don't have the user handbook for the car it can only be guesswork as the Carina is no longer listed on the Toyota Uk website.

Why can't the Yahoo team leave something alone, especially if it's working well?

Generally expect between 30 & 50 miles but drive gently
