EnginePassion Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Did any one calibrate the IS250 as to how many miles are left when the car displays zero miles? Also, is it safe for the pump (which is in the tank) to run the car beyond zero mile left? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 About 1.5 gallons, maybe a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 And no, it is not good for the pump to be starved for fuel. I simply would not let the tank get that low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normandg Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I try not to let my tank get that low. If you start sucking fuel from the bottom of the tank that is when you can get what ever junk has collected in the bottom. Most likely your fuel filter would catch it. But then your fuel line can clog and you will need to change the filter. I try to never get below a quarter of a tank. Food for thought.

DaRacerz Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I always drive the car to <30 miles on the meter, and on occasion I have done about 10 miles past the meter. In all instances, I can't say I remember filling up the tank with more then 16 gallons on gas before the pump shut off. Not sure how big our tanks are? 17.4 gal? Guess thats about 1.5 gallons left.
