Hey everyone...just wondering I have the new 2005 ST and it says that there is a 53L tank on the car yet when I fill it, it only takes about 40L. After the gas light comes on how many clicks do I have till shes empty. My contour never had a gas light and my escape came on when there was bairly any gas left! So I really have no way to compare. Was the 53L tank a typo?? Or is there something wrong with my gas light coming on so early?
Thanks
Ryan

That is not a typo.
After the light come on, it will go at least another 50+km np.

Ask your dealer first, but it might take a few 1000 km's for the engine to break in.

Be wary. In some of the earlier model Foci, there was a problem in the tank. I and a couple of others used to be able to cram only 36L into ours even from fuel light...

I have at least 10L left in the tank when the light comes on. Good for around 100km/hwy.
Old enough to know me limit, yet young enough to exceed it.
