I've run my tank many many times to where the needle sits on the "middle" of the "E" which is approx 62-64L. The best was 622km to the middle of the "E" and when I filled up (might light had been on solid for a good 10km) I could only get 60L in it.

no im just never quite sure.  

ive got 550kms off a tank before the light has come on before.  

i wonder what you could get if you really stretched it?

U seen the episode of seinfeld where kramer takes a saab for a test drive to see how far he can go with the fuel light on?

I say u do the same experiment and tell us all the results :P

heheh.. nice

when i drove to Sydney a few weeks ago i was getting 11.2ks per litre if thats any indication, that is just straight highway driving... usaualy 7.5-8.5ks/L around town

you could probably work it out from there.... youre consumption would be different tho depending on what mods have been done....

The GTT's reserve tank must be huge then, I can only get 48-50L when the light comes on which means a 15L reserve!!!

I am talking out of my arse here but, reserve tank? Is there a separate tank?

I too have noticed that there is about 15L left when the light comes on.

Best distance from a tank - just over 700kms -was shitting myself,

Worst - 196kms from 48L fill up. (that was on the drift/skid pan day in december)

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
