got previous thread discussing this

generally, low fuel light comes on at about 37 to 38 litres

guess the FL ones should be the same too

so the balance is about 7 to 8 litres ........

fuel tank is 45 litres

if you pump right up to brim, it's about 1.5 to 2 litres after auto-stop

I pump extra min 3L and the car is still thirsty. What is the trick to pump to the brim?

do you mean that you can pump 3 litres from auto-stop to brim?

Hi, is there any particular reason why you want to fill to the brim? After you pump in 38 litres, you can press the lever slowly so that the petrol come out slowly. Watch out for overflow by not sticking the nozzle all the way in.

Our tank is 45 litre.
I will aim to pump 37-38 litres is i want a full tank. The remaining 7 litres are reserved.
So i dun really depend on the auto-stop feature of the pump.

I will usually pump to auto stop. The overflowed petrol may damage the paint work.
