Title: Fuel Tank Checking at CheckPoint (Very Strict)
Post by: iagree on August 14, 2008, 10:14:18 AM
Singapore's 3/4 tank (3/4 fuel tank before exit SG)

Remote Control to control the fuel gauge...

The Custom Officer press on the Remote Control, the indicator can show from "E" to "F" and "F" to "E", how scary.

Those guys kena caught at the chkpoint few days ago.

So, guys, remember must topup to 3/4 before exit chkpt.

No play play.

I think the Customs people are reasonable people.

If your fuel indicator is just a little below the 3/4 mark, they will not fine you.

But in this case of tampering with the fuel tank gauge, there is a clear intention to cheat.

better adhere to the rules of 3/4 for the time being...

Latio is not worth to pump in JB as the top 1/4 tank cannot take in much petrol - 10 litres at most.

When the fuel indicator is at the bottom 1/4 mark, I can pump in only 32 litre of petrol, which means the bottom 1/4 tank is holding on to 18 litres of petrol.

hi laihm76

i aso have nothing to say abt him. iagree! s him!

Yes...agreed with you. Been thru that before, they are reasonable.

iagree aso, they are just human like us. it's just that the govt ask them to help out whenever there is a shortage (right? sporea citizen know best? i am not sure, i simply guess only).

so, it is fine one. as long as not too low until 1/2 or 1/4 left in the tank when we exit sg chkpt.

By the time the Matrix owner takes 5 min to pump in that extra litre, the petrol would have evaporated, so not worth it.   :out:

for the benefits of those who go jb pump petrol...

my personal experience:
half tank still pass custom check, as i did got check by custom officers when my needle is at half tank, he let me pass...  so customs officers are quite reasonable...

usually at half tank i only pump abt 20L


once again, a call to all latios who pump petrol in jb, we can go in together, I live in bishan, so those nearby can go together... pump petrol, eat a bit supper, or go massage...

those interested can pm me, thx

aiya, i thk he forgot to use one skill called "推" i.e. to push (goyang) the car... then he can sqiz to 51 litre for his Latio? :)

Penny wise pound foolish in trying to save a few cents by squeezing in petrol to the brim, only to have petrol leak out and expose yourself to risk as there've been cases of robbers coming from behind when you are distracted pumping petrol and rob you.

Reserve tank is 5 litres but not worth the risk as too low petrol level in your tank can damage your fuel pump which costs a few hundred dollars to replace.

bro,
for a fuel line system, we got fuel filter, fuel pump to transfer the fuel to the injector and those tubing for supply and return....sometime for those old car, the fuel filter needs to be change just like air/oil filter....

Aftermarket product like fuel regulator etc etc is to regulate the pressure of supply line...

When the fuel indicator is at the bottom 1/4 mark, I can pump in only 32 litre of petrol, which means the bottom 1/4 tank is holding on to 18 litres of petrol.

I second this information ... last week i just went in and had my tank filled to a 3/4 first, +/- 1 % from the gauge, then i pump another time to make sure that I have 3/4 after the traveling from SengKang to 2nd Link (woodlands jam from onemotoring)

the differences is only about another 12 dollars, which is about 5+litres

I usually will drive till reserve light up and  most of my fillup is about 38 litres

so technically we have about 7 litres of reserve but please bear in mind that the design usually have about 2 litres of buffer and our fuel pump will have difficulty draining the remaining 2 litres, thus we will be only able to travel for about another 4-5 litres.  ;D

but i seldom do that as I do not want to stop my car waiting for help ...  :pray:

just felt that if going in just to pump petrol cannot save much lor ...

if going in for some agenda and "shun pian" pump then is ok ... no need to push or pump slowly one ar ... cant save much...  :bleh:

anyway, they must have their own reasons to do that kinda trick to maximizes their pump, maybe got a big house to service? got 2 wifes? kekee ... :devil2:

Hi 553,

Question: Are you related to 883?
Just kidding.

Well, I don't think is worth to go JB to pump petrol then come back to SG.
Unless, you are going to Msia for a short trip, at least half to 1 2 days. Otherwise, it is not worth at all.

1) Jam when you go? Enjoy
2) Jam again when come back
3) 3/4 tank b4 you exit
4) Pump abt 1/2 tank before you back to sg (still worth?)

Msia inflation is much higher than SG, I believe for shopping, SG would still be offering the cheaper  price for most of the products.

My 20cents.

Regards.

hahaa, bro ... apologize as i'm sqeezing too much informations into the same reply and thats might be the reason causing the misunderstanding ...

firstly, i'm not related to whatever ... 883 ... 1234567890 ...  :bleh:

and i too, agree, that just by going in to pump is not so worth for myself (not speaking for anyone else) as i dont enjoy the jam, thats why I frequent 2nd link even thou it is further ... mostly for business, makan sutra, meeting kakis, going for trips to kulai, genting, KL, Klang or even hatyai ... and also to clear carbon ...  ;D

hmm ... yep ... i rev alot ... and my traveling is mostly city area, only 20% HW... the only problem is i though with my driving habit, latio can help to minimise the useage, but ...

my wife say if i drive latio also only 300 - 400, might as well drive a rex or MPV ...  :D

anyway, just went to JB yesterday with my friend to bridal shop, then eat and jalan jalan ... i pump full to go in but never check ...   :glare:

not 18 yet lah. 17++ only. I am one of those 80 kph drivers on the expressway. No aircon in the morning. Got aircon also 27 degrees. Strictly below 2500 rpm. Minimal acceleration and braking.
I sustained around 17.25 for 2 years. Now change job 60HW 40 and my wife drives to work in the morning so FC drop to 16.7 liao. Once in a while when she is not so much in a rush still can see the 17 lah.

Nah......Its all in the right foot. I tell you Sunny can reach 17 km/l you won't believe (not me... my ex-colleague).
And to fuel the debate further... I am on Fastflo and Mobil 92.

For me, travels around 400 km (Caltex RON 98) befoe needle hit the 1/4 mark. Have toned down the power of my right foot, really see the improvement.  Haha.

I pump Caltex RON 95 this time round and use the same driving pattern to compare the result with RON 98.

I think your friend's Sunny and your Latio are the one and only in the entire Nissan factory that achieves such remarkable record breaking fuel efficiency.

Puts Honda Jazz and other hybrid and CNG cars to great shame.

The Jazz CVT is really incredible. Driving it over the same route with the same techniques, it will get over 24km/L easily...

1. Take life easy. Don't rush. Rushing builds hypertension and we may end up at the hospital earlier.
2. Switch off the aircon, enjoy the fresh morning air...
3. Drive lots of expressway. Build up a few car lengths of buffer.
4. If it's a short trip, use the built in "kah" or bicycle.
5. Drive like car has no power. Brake like car has lousy brakes.
6. If car behind is impatient and flashes light at you, just pretend you have no money to service the car/buy petrol/etc and wave back with a smile...
7. Tyre pressure should be at least up to what is marked on door post or higher.

It helps if you find it fun to try setting a record tank every time you go to the pump.

Waiting for Nissan to build a Hybrid Latio... or maybe Latio 1.4L turbo diesel with 6-MT... hmm...

Hi Jazz

Gm.

Oh, no gamble one, just LUT nia...

Last night, when it hit 485km, the RED light suddenly turn on liao...
Then, i pumped 35litres at Caltex (15% discnt fr Starcard)...
The gauge shows almost FULLTank, but I know that is not a 'real full tank' loh.

Scary, 485km then RED LIGHT ON. I guess this tank can run up to 550km at least... (if i run until it dries off :) )

Hello guys

How tight is the checking at custom these few days? I am going to Msia this Friday again.
My fuel tank left 8% (red light NOT ON yet! may be another 20km then Red light on) oni.... hit 460km already. This tank, i thk my FC is very good ones horrrr


Too low a fuel level can lead to damage to the fuel pump in the long term.

Advisabll to top up when fuel indicator is at 1/4 level.

Hi Jazz

Gm.

Oh, no gamble one, just LUT nia...

Last night, when it hit 485km, the RED light suddenly turn on liao...
Then, i pumped 35litres at Caltex (15% discnt fr Starcard)...
The gauge shows almost FULLTank, but I know that is not a 'real full tank' loh.

Scary, 485km then RED LIGHT ON. I guess this tank can run up to 550km at least... (if i run until it dries off :) )

Regards.

You need to monitor, seem like your fuel gauge indicator not that accurate.

Anyway, no problem to pump when red light is on, dun listen to bullshit too much.  :D

Hi Jazz,

Good morning.

Ohhh, not really leh, coz this 2 wks oni drive in SG leh. So, i think to achieve 12.5 to 13km/L FC is not a problem mah. My foot is very obedient one this 2 weeks, but not the other 'one' :)

Aiyo, don't say other people 'bs' leh... They are sharing their experiences and thoughts only. We like each other so much wohhhh  :bleh:

Ha ha!!!!

Hia ll,

I am back fr Msia yday, i think they are not free to chk for 3/4 Fuel. If they want to check, they can ask those officers who check our car boots to check the Fuel gauge at the same time, but, why they aren't checking leh? Pls kindly "suggest" to ICA? :)

Regards.

This is not common knowledge lah.... Fuel pump for different car in different places... Can be in tank, below tank, under chasis etc. Don't think anyone here changed one of those yet. I bet you ask where is the fuel filter also will hardly get a reply (I know the next question will be "got fuel filter one meh? How to change huh?").
Quite busy these few days. I see if I can find the info this week end.

The Latio's fuel pump, level sensor and filter are in a single sub-assembly located in the fuel tank. The fuel pump operates for 1 second after you turn the ignition to "ON".

Crap.... that is going to make replacing the filter a big job. I guess no DIY for fuel filter for this car....
