gas tank question

Post by theo »

I have known now for a while that the mx-3 has a fuel capacity of 13.2 gallons, but even when I have been on empty for about thirty or fourty miles and I fill up, the most I have ever been able to fit is about 11.2 or 3. So once it hits empty is there still like three gallons left or what? I saw another post in this forum that said there is 10 gallons between full and empty so I guess there is another 3.2 gallons after your empty light comes on. Does anyone know it this is true? Please help. Also, my friends car ran out of gas and his whole computer went haywire and had to get a new one, so try not to go completely empty. thanks<p>theoyork7@cswebmail.com :shrug:

It's called 'Reserve', so you have time to get gas before you go completely empty. 3.2 gallons is about right.
