nope!!

 

happend to me the first time I took mine for a good blast guage said I had 1/4 a tank but the splutter stop kinda said other wise!!

 

now I fill up when it reads half!!!! :gdit:

[Guest Nick]

On more the 1 occasion , most embarrissingly 100 yds from where I store the car giving a female friend a ride!!!

 

I now use the trip meter as the gauge is definitely unreliable

Ours works when its full reads down to empty at 100 or so miles and we still have 50 - 60 miles left in it That was with no bending of the float just straight out of the donor into our tank, so I think we are reasonably lucky that it works at all

PS We carry a spare Gallon just in case

[Guest alan rowe]

Duncan - I never want to run out and get stuck so always carry not just one gallon container but two

[Guest salty_monk]

I normally carry a gallon, never run out when I haven't got one apart from once on the top of a hill, managed to roll down it & turn into petrol station at bottom with car coming to a stop at the pump... how lucky is that, didn't even have to get out!!

[Guest stu205]

lucky sod hope you did the lottery at the same time!

[Guest docter fox]

many times

you adjust the sender to get it working right and you get a smell of petrol, you stop the smell of petrol and it doesnt work :angry:

 

i wouldnt care about it if i won the lottery though

[Guest stu205]

..........stands back after opening the tin of worms!..............

[Guest docter fox]

I wouldn't , I'd make a hood ridiculously powerful and wave as i flew past them with "robin hood" on the back in big letters, would be worth it just to see his face

[Guest chris brown]

if we won the lottery wouldnt we all buy one of those catering thingys
