INCREDIBLE FUEL STILL DROP EVEN THOU DIDN'T DRIVE

(1/3) > >>

MadMatty:
I was on medical leave for 2 weeks and the day before i went on medical leave I had top up my car to full. Amazingly even though I did not even drive the car for nearly a week, I only went down to warm up and keep the battery active by running for maximum 5 minutes each day. My fuel gauge indicate that the petrol has already dropped down to nearly the half way point between the full and 3/4 mark.  Now that I am back driving the car, my FC already at 1/2 tank even thou my mileage travel was less then 150Km. I know that Latio FC is notorious but this really is ridiculous. :mad:

Most probably, its the fuel sensor problem. Mine has its mind on its own, after refilling it appear full. Come, next morning, the fuel indicator appear at 1/2 mark even though I had travelled only 5km.

CustomGolf:
Drive till the orange light comes on then go refill and see how much is being put into the tank to know how mucch is used, I get to fill only about 35 litres when my orange indicator comes on. Another possibility is evaporation, especially when parked in open car park.

MadMatty:
Well my average is also the same, light comes up once fuel level hits below 35 ltr, this time I only managed to clock 340km and the fuel indicator light came up. Went to top up and true enough I pump in about 36 ltr there after.

I was hoping this would be a one off occurrence perhaps due to evaporation of fuel but that cannot really explain the vast difference. Further more my car park is a multi storey one so it is shaded from the direct heat of the sun. So after my last top top the same thing is happening again. Already at the 1/2 way mark even though mileage showed only 150km traveled. :confused1:

I intend to bring in the car to TCM next week and ask them what the hell is actually wrong. A car doesn't just consumed so much overnight. Before I could still hit average 220km before hitting the half way point. :mad:

I know that Nissan vehicles are not exactly known to be economical but this is really stretching the fact a bit too far. :mad:

Err isn't it common knowledge gasoline is highly evaporative ?

you can try filling gasoline in a 1.5litre coca cola bottle full and close it tight,
then leave it in a dark cool place, for 2weeks. 2 weeks later 1.5litre become 1litre.
no joke man .  :(
