Yeah i was under the impression it was a 89L tank and 9L reserve when the warning came on.
But today i filled after driving 40K with the light on, and it took 85L :)

I have a book called "The Land Rover Experience", it was published by Land Rover in 1993, so refers to the pre-update D1 model I guess.
It states 88.6L fuel tank.
81.7L usable fuel.
12L approx low fuel warning.
However my 98 D1 car manual states as B92 8NW says: 9L low fuel warning.
So maybe they changed it in the update. :p
might be that the tank holds 89 litres but then you can still get a few litres more into the filler tube.
Yeap i would say thats whats happening! :), i always try to fill up as MUCH as possible as i know next time it would only be more expensive. And i always drive it down till the light comes on. I hate filling up so i make sure i do it as least as possible :)Quote:

When we figured we'd pushed it enough we pulled over and it coughed and spluttered a bit, probably because the fuel was spilling forward of the take-up when I was slowing down. Topped it up with the jerry and kept cruising...
