go to a gas station
Yes, my vehicle does the same thing when you fill up the gas tank past full. Not sure why it does that but it happens to me so I stop when the gas tank clicks.
Fill up the vehicle that you are going to test until the tank is full. Reset the odometer trip meter to zero. Drive the vehicle until you have one quarter tank of fuel left. Stop and fill the vehicle until the tank is full. Look at the trip meter and write down the reading you have. Now divide the miles you drove by the gallons of gas it took to fill up the vehicle. Example: You drove 365 miles and used 13 gallons of fuel. 365÷13 = 28.07 miles per gallon. Do this with three tanks of fuel and you will get an average miles per gallon for your vehicle.
You should leave a little empty space in the tank on a PWC.
Depends on the mpg of the vehicle you are driving which you failed to list. Assuming the vehicle gets 30 mpg, then you will use around 52 gallons of fuel for the trip. If the tank is full when you start the trip you will have to stop and add fuel 1 time.
If you are sure the tank is empty and the fuel gauge is reading half full, then there is something wrong with your fuel level sending unit located inside the tank on the driver's side of the vehicle. Probably the variable resistor.
Yes
It is beneficial to fill your tank once it gets to 1/4 full. There are two reasons for this. Air contains moisture the more air in the fuel tank the more moisture in the fuel tank. Secondly the fuel pump uses the fuel to help cool itself. The less fuel the more chance the fuel pump will overheat which will shorten it's life.
On a 2000 Lincoln LS : The fill for the fuel tank is on the PASSENGER SIDE of the vehicle The fuel tank is under the vehicle , it is almost like 2 smaller tanks that are joined together at the top . The JET PUMP transfers fuel from the drivers side of the tank to the passenger side where the FUEL PUMP for the engine is located
The question is how did oil get in the fuel tank? If there was very little oil put in the tank as in less than a couple of quarts then just fill the tank full and drive the car. The oil will be burned with the fuel and will do no harm. If there was more than a couple of quarts, you can siphon it out with a hand pump. You can get enough out to then fill the tank and drive the rest out.
I had a similar problem with a vehicle (don't remember make) Try running vehicle up on a couple of 2 x 4's when refilling. Problem with mine was fuel filler was lower than fuel tank
Easy, wait until its empty, and then see how much it takes to fill it to 'full'
First you need to know how many gallons of fuel the tank holds. Your drivers manual should give you that info. Then you fill the tank up with fuel and make note of the mileage on the odometer. Drive the vehicle as you would normally until it requires another fill up making note again of the mileage and the quantity of fuel it took to refill. Subtract the initial mileage from the refill mileage and divide that number by the quantity of fuel it took to refill. This will give you the MPG (Miles Per Gallon) your vehicle is giving you. Now take the number of gallons the fuel tank can hold and multiply that times the MPG your car is giving you and you will have your answer.
