Petrol Light
I remember trying to look this up when I had my ZS180, if the petrol light is on constantly on a ZS120 ROUGHLY how many miles are remaining?
The red part of the petrol gauge is so thin that its hard to tell whats left based on that My petrol light came on and stayed on yesterday (been flashing on and off for a few miles) and just want to know what to expect? |
Never had it on constantly, when mines On/off the needles below the red so I don't chance it

I will be filling up on Friday anyways |
Depends on what kind of driving I suppose. Should be a bit left.

I was driving about with the light on/off for a few days, and when I did fill up, the tank took 54.50litres, so which meant I had a plastic irn-bru bottle worth of petrol left

Mine is usually extremely inaccurate!
It can go from 1/8 of a tank to the red light in as little as 5miles :( But I usually just put a bit in in case :) Is there anyway to make it more accurate as I've read on here previously that it is inaccurate.. |
Having ran both my zr and my zs110 out of fuel while driving from experiance there very very inaccurate! I usually work out that i can get 30miles ish to the gallon :)

I havent put any petrol in mine since i had it :laugh: |
In my 120's I've always used the same rule of thumb:
As soon as the light is on steady (I.E not flicking on and off as you go up/down hills etc) then there's enough left for 30 miles, 50 if you drive very, very, carefully. I use that often and never run out yet! |
Ive only had the light on once and deliberately ran it low to see if it was working,
heard that running the tank low puts all the crud at the bottom through the filter. Thought Id made a massive mistake when I uprated the camshafts as car was starting to use way more fuel than before with normal driving but in about a week it's better than it was before ? Put this down to having the full service done Fuel filter etc.. Is this the ECU learning to adapt to mods ? |
