| Does anyone seem to have a problem with the 07 TL not allowing you to actually add 17.1 gallons of gas to your tank? Does anyone know why you are only able to add 13.5 gallons of gas to an empty tank and then are forced to top off the remaining 3.5 gallons in order to actually fill your tank? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks | |

Replying to: sonya25 (Aug 02, 2007 8:25 pm) If you are referring to the fuel gauge on your dashboard, it is programmed (on all TLs) to read empty around 13.5 - 14 gallons used. This is so the driver does not ever come close to running empty and thus damaging the fuel injectors. The computer does the same. It claims the miles to empty to be far less that reality. I have pushed it 75 miles beyond that. Normally I just fill it up just after it 'reads' empty. It's not a big deal to me.

Replying to: laurasdada (Aug 03, 2007 1:04 pm) ... but don't try that on an MDX. I ran our 2005 to 0 miles left and was going to keep going, figuring we could make it the remianing 35 miles home, but saw a gas station with good prices. Filled it up to within 0.1 gallons of the tank capacity.  My wife, reading the owners manual for tank capacity while I pumped past 19.5 gallons, just about hung me. And, no, the station pumps weren't off. Went back there a day later with my 911 at the 1/2 tank level and the same pump showed exactly what I expected. |

Replying to: habitat1 (Aug 03, 2007 2:54 pm) Thanks to the stock market, I'm a little further away from the XK/911/Cayman/Boxter/S5/335 'vert/CL550 etc... Not to mention retirement!  Oh, well. The TL has new shoes and is shiny. Life ain't too bad.
