Thought you were busy all the time? How can you be bored?

Assuming the tank in my TII is 16.x gallons like everyone says it is, my car has about 4 gallons left when it's on E.

What I've been told by like Steve Fooshee and Brandon Mathews - about 2 gallons left in the resovoir(sp). Though, I never knew cars had res. in the first place, I thought only bikes did https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



Call me stupid, please https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



anyway, about 2 gallons is left.. before you're totally empty. I wouldn't trust it though.

i am busy all the TIME. I just got home from school at 130pm at 2:00 pm i began studying for my Summer class ( Methods of Differential equations) and i stopped at 4:00pm cause i leave at 4:30pm to go to work from 5:00pm-10:00pm.





the idea came to me today cause i was driving home from school to and from on E. and i have to go to work now and i have no money. SO i was wondering if i can drive to work on E. Its 3 miles each way so 6 miles round trip.



Can i make it!

?

UniqueTII 06-19-2003 03:25 PM

It depends on how long you've been on E, but I'd think you could make it.

christi 06-19-2003 03:27 PM

Probably. How long have you been straight on E? Your capcity(sp) of your car (same as mine) is 14.6 - + 2 gallons 16.



Anyway, You can probably make it. I wouldn't try it though. Try and find some cash lying around, or stop at your bank (if you've got an account) and take a few $$$ out, and fill up some.



Don't wanna hear that you got stuck on the road for running out of gas :P



By the way - how do you figure if you ran out? Like.. what does it do? I've never really ran out of gas before.....

When I did my gauges I set E to empty, so it it hits e it's empty.. I like it that way.



Ok time to get some coffee.

UniqueTII 06-19-2003 03:28 PM

The car stops moving. Something about combustion...I'm no rocket scientist...lol.



Seriously, the car chugs a bit, stumbles, then dies. You may be able to start it a couple times afterwards, but it won't go anywhere.

ROTARYROCKET7 06-19-2003 03:33 PM
