Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 2Original post

C'mon Dave, you used to own a 993... That reply was about as useful as Thom helping a prospective 911 owner with his purchasing decision

POST 3Original post

I didn't answer the question Mr C because anyone that knows the answer is sadder than I can imagine - you'd have to be a right muppet to try to find out? ps: I found Thom's advice of great value, so much so that I bought a four cylinder water pumper........ with reserve fuel of 4.78 litres BTW

POST 4Original post

OOPS Not a good idea to find out as already stated, due to possible build up of "crap" at the bottom of the fuel tank. DAZ Hows that for not answering the qestion then lads?

POST 5Original post

Should be easy enough to work out - as soon as the light comes on, find a garage and fill up. This shows you how many litres were left in the tank when the light went on. Do this on four or five separate occasions and take an average.

POST 6Original post

Argonaut was obviously top of physics at school This is basically what I have done, but never thought about it before.

POST 7Original post

Excuse me for being thick (when it suits me ). Doesn't that give you a figure of how empty the fuel tank is when the light illuminates. You Need to know the capacity of the tank having RTFM and subtract your figure from this figure, to get the amount of fuel left in the tank when the light comes on. DAZ

POST 8Original post

...and thank you to my trusty assistant Dazren who kindly supplied the final step of the calculation. Pleased to see someone was paying attention.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Simple question - when my 993 low fuel warning light comes on, how much is left in the tank ?
