Just filled up the Divvy, the gauge had indicated empty for some time and the light had come on half a mile from the fuel station, £22.59 for 17.80 litres at £1.269 per litre. (receipt in my hand)

Before now I have run with the light on for a good distance looking for fuel and never got near 24 litres

FYI...  I did 179 miles on this tank full before the fuel light lit again.

Hows the new pump?

So far so good. I haven’t had the guts to run the tank any lower yet as I don’t want to run out during my daily commute again. But the pump is working without any negative effects at the moment.

Finally bit the bullet and ran the tank until the low fuel light came on. This happened at 178 miles. I’m averaging 9.2 miles to the litre, so once the low level fuel light is on, I’ve got about 3.5 litres left in the tank, which would give about another 30 miles. I’m happy with that range.

Ha ha, yes, hadn’t seen that. Means our fuel consumptions are almost identical.
