this is from the RAVE service manual (pages 801 - 804)
Fuel Tank Capacities
Variant Fuel Tank Capacity
90 - 56 liters (13.2 gallons)
110 (130) - 70 liters (16.2 gallons)
A warning lamp is incorporated in the instrument cluster and illuminates when the fuel level is at or below 10 litres (2.64 US gallons).
LOW FUEL INDICATION AND RUN DRY STRATEGY
The run-dry strategy is used to maintain the systems fuel prime at fuel run out. It ensures the minimum amount of fuel is always left in the swirl pot.
The instrument cluster activates the yellow low fuel warning light, (next to the fuel gauge) with 15% of fuel remaining in the tank. The fuel gauge will indicate empty with 11% of fuel left in the tank.
With 4 liters left in the tank the run-dry strategy will be invoked. An engine mis-fire will be induced for approximately 1 mile after which the engine will be shut down. The engine can be re-started in mis-fire mode and will continue to run for a further mile until the engine shuts down again. This can be repeated until the fuel suction port in the tank is uncovered and causes engine fuel starvation and loss of prime. Re-starts after run-dry shut down are not recommended.
FUEL FILTER
The service interval for the canister change is 24,000 miles.
I went searching for the LPH flow rate of the fuel filter which is not specified in the manual. Closest stat "The fuel system supplies fuel to the engine via a lift pump which is integral to the engine mounted injector pump. The fuel system is a depression system with the inlet pressure at the transfer pump being -30 to -20 kPa".
If anyone knows the LPH, please impart your knowledge. I have an aftermarket RACOR fuel filter and it would be handy to know the flow rate.
