I have also never got even close to the full 80l when the car says nothing left, low 70's is the most I have ever squeezed in

Plug in an IID tool and when you’re not connected to it with the phone, it shows that on the display.

On our Victorian high country trip, the place we intended to refuel was closed, so had to go another 80 km. The last 20 km or so was on 0 km to empty and I added 76.01L.
One day I'd like to be game enough to run it dry and see how much is really available ie to the claimed from memory 82L useable mentioned in the specs.

Don't run it dry, I'm pretty sure our HPFP died because of that.

I think the valves in it maxxed out and stuck there.

I wouldn't risk it.

I managed to squeeze 82.3 in mine at Nerrandera when a similar situation arose. I had worked out where I could safely get to pulling my caravan with quite a bit of leeway. About 20 km short of refuelling, the road was closed due to flooding which meant about an 80km detour.
No problem, I had allowed myself 100 Klm. When we got to my planned fuel stop, servo closed. I drove as economically as I could to get into Nerrandera. I was sure I felt it cough as I pulled up at the bowser, but it started fine after I filled up.
Have to be lucky sometimes.
Cheers

My iid is plugged in full time. It’s a feature of it

Wow 76lt that’s brave! 30km is the lowest that I’ve been brave enough to go to so far

Correct, the lubrication for the fuel pump is fuel, treat them like a hydraulic pump that's special. Clean clean fluid, good inlet pressure.

Running dry or pushing on with a plugged filter is a disaster
