Gas Tank - NeoOiler - 10-05-2004

Hey everyone...just wondering I have the new 2005 ST and it says that there is a 53L tank on the car yet when I fill it, it only takes about 40L. After the gas light comes on how many clicks do I have till shes empty. My contour never had a gas light and my escape came on when there was bairly any gas left! So I really have no way to compare. Was the 53L tank a typo?? Or is there something wrong with my gas light coming on so early?

Thanks

Ryan

That is not a typo.

After the light come on, it will go at least another 50+km np.

Well s**t, im not getting the greatest in mileage. Should it get better with time. Thats not much better than my V6 Escape. Im only getting about 320 when the light comes on or so.

Ya thats not good then ...

Theres probably a good 6 or 7 L left when the light comes on.

Ask your dealer first, but it might take a few 1000 km's for the engine to break in.

Be wary. In some of the earlier model Foci, there was a problem in the tank. I and a couple of others used to be able to cram only 36L into ours even from fuel light...

I have at least 10L left in the tank when the light comes on. Good for around 100km/hwy.
