Please explain how the gas tank reserve works (how ever dumb of a question this may be)? According to the manual there is 15.9 US gallons in the tank and a 2.1 gallon reserve. On the gas guage at 1/6 of a tank the red empty area begins.

What exactly does this mean? After finishing the tank there is still an additional 2.1 gallons remaining; then the tank would be truly empty!! Is that correct?

 

The way I interpreted it was that the low fuel light would come on when you have 2.1 gallons left in the tank. Seemed to make sense, since just before the Skyline CrossUp got underway my light had come on, and I put 13.6 gallons in until the pump clicked off. But, YMMV...

 

Only problem with that is the manual states: 15.9 in the fuel tank with an additional 2.1 gallon reserve.

What is YMMV?

 

I'm not gonna run mine dry to find out, so dunno what to tell you, other than my experience, hence the...
Your Mileage May Vary :wink:

 

I ran mine once down to the point where the fuel guage stopped moving, just as a check.

When I filled it up, it took 15.4 gallons.

I usually fill up when it gets to the middle of the "red zone".

;-)

 

The tank holds 15.9 gallons, of which 2.1 gallons is the reserve. When the light comes on, which happens at the top of the red segment in the guage, there is 2.1 gallons of fuel remaining in the tank.

YMMV = Your Mileage May Vary
