I've never let my tank run to fuel light, bar once when I wanted to see how much gas the thing would take. I think I have a 35L tank (wasn't that what they put on the 99/early 2000 models?) because it took 33L with the light on. Coulda probably crammed another litre in, but gas wasnt' that cheap. LOL

I haven't seen my gas light in a year. I need to get my fuel pump replaced. Can't go too much below half a tank, since I am always on the high way and the focus fuel pump doesn't like going on the on ramp.

I let the tank run dry once, and ever since that day my fuel pump has been messed up. It has never run the same since.

I believe the focus has a 50L tank of which 10L is reserve.

Might be mistaken. But so far I have managed to put OVER $42 in my car, yes it was premium 88cents a liter and 48 L!!

I've gone 120km on the tank without running out.

I've put 13.6 gallons in the "13 gallon" tank, that is filling all the way up the neck.

I've put 52 litres in the wagon.

mine wont let more than 43 litres in the gas tank. How are you guys managing to fill it to 50L? I tried to do that once, and the gas was spilling out the filler neck? :blink:

I typically add 100km to what I can drive when my fuel light comes on... I think I could handle 150 but I'm not that brave, nor do I relish the thought of another new fuel pump...

Highway? prolly about 175 - 200 km... hehe (I wouldn't push that though)

I also think different years have different tolerances.. my Fiancee's fuel light comes on and she can pump in about 40 liters.... mine? I can put 40 in barely after running 25km's or so after the light.... (depending on what kinda driving..)

That's the same as mine... once the gas light comes on I can put 40L in no problem. But i alwways thought it was a 50 L tank, good to know... now I can jsut keep driving...lol
