Anyone beat that? haha
-
Wouldn't want to run that low tbh :signLOL:
-
Doesn't the car have a 55 litre tank? If so then there's 5 litres available in the filler tube??? :confused: :confused:
-
Only ever let mine run down to quarter tank then i fill up again
-
Good going for a 55L tank, :laugh: how many clicks did you give it, to get 60L! :confused:
Is there an overflow? i.e. did some end up on the floor, lol.
-
I thought they were 55 litre too!

I remember (a few years ago) TT posting something about getting loads more fuel in a Mk5 than 60 litres, I'm sure there was a good explanation too.
Whenever I see a Shell Station I always stop and fill up with their Nitro go go juice. Usually never less than half full. I always check on their app to see where the nearest station is, I'm sure my car won't blow up on another 99 but it's never had anything else.
Once I get the first click I stop filling. Remember reading years ago something about not overfilling the Mk5, something about losing the fuel and something else about the Charcoal Cannister? (Probably posted by TT too :grin:).

No 99RON petrol in your area??
-
^^^^ Yes, within walking distance. :laugh:
I should have said "whenever I'm away from home and I see a Shell Station I fill up".
:happy2:

Sorry mate, my comment was meant for xjay as he filled up with 97RON petrol.

^^^^ :happy2:

There is 99 ron but on a standard car there's no real benefit using it.
Plus as I shop at Sainsburys and on Ebay I get my Nectar points....

Not that many surprisngly! Normally first click is around 47-48L for me but this one it was at 57!! Maybe 3 or 4 clicks to get over 60.
Could have kept going but got bored lol. None on the floor :)
On 100 miles of trip but fuel gauge still at max haha.
-
I have to travel 24 miles for my nearest shell, well any 99RON in fact! Rural Cumbria sucks
(Though I do go most weekends to fill up, hence the sig)

I know on mk4's you can fill the expansion tank by pressing a little nipple in the filler neck with the end of the filler nozzle but I've not noticed one on my mk5.
I used to be able to get about 63 litres in my bora if I was very low and filled the expansion tank up.

I'm lucky Shell garage 1 mile from m house! :congrats:

It's not there on the Mk5 :surprised:

I topped my tank in the Spring and I now get an Evap engine light every few weeks - it seems you knacker the whole system by one squirt of fuel where only vapour is meant to go.
