Just checked the spec on TC website. It's 45 litre.

There was once I pump petrol; looked at the receipt and it was 44.x litres. Have a shock of my life. Imagine if it can't find petrol station within the next 3 km or so, then i have to "push car" liao.

Once, I exiting tampines mall carpark with fuel warning light on. As i pressed the escalator to rev my car up the steep ramp, felt the fuel pump drawing air. Anybody have that experience before? Is it damaging to the engine,ah?

clarence:
Too low a fuel level will damage the fuel pump, rather than the engine.

detach8:
try not to go too low, as non level ground can lead to fuel not going into car
i think latio fuel pump is near the tank, not so bad. old cars the pump is near the engine and sometimes if you drive until no fuel, the pump get jam and u must manually suck fuel out to the front for the car to start!

vortex:
Anyone knows what is our fuel tank made of ? I was told that if it is made of metal, too low level of the petrol will have corrosion issue if the petrol reach the top level. If made of fibre glass, no such worry, other than the pump problem.

The pump did not jam, if it jam, you suck also no use. Those are mechanical pumps attached to your engine and you need the engine to start before it starts pumping. These days, electrical pumps are used instead. Fuel pumps are usually cooled by the fuel going thru it and if there isn't any to go thru it for too long a period, the motor will overheat. Good thing that it's in the tank is that it stays cool while it works but the bad thing is that it's very hard to replace.
