Chimp Clutched November 30, 2005 Share November 30, 2005 True. The actual capacity of the tank is usually 10-15% bigger than the published capacity. e.g. a 60L tank will be able to hold around 66-70L or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwoon 1st Gear November 30, 2005 Share November 30, 2005 Yes, I feel the loss of power whenever I pump JB Caltex 97RON..... that is when there is a causeway jam and its madness to go find the Shell station to pump V-Power, then rejoin the queue. Caltex is the closest and most convenient then..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimp Clutched November 30, 2005 Share November 30, 2005 That's the part when the pump stopped pumping but if you continue to pump, it will still be able to take a bit more before it vomit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwoon 1st Gear November 30, 2005 Share November 30, 2005 oh....... I always pump to the point of vomiting.... sometimes even vomit out abit..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzy Neutral Newbie November 30, 2005 Share November 30, 2005 not sure how true this is, but i've experienced that i can actually squeeze in 35L even though the fuel gauge of my car indicates that it's actually half full (my car has a 60L tank) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Clutched November 30, 2005 Share November 30, 2005 then you wasted your precious V-Power lao Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwoon 1st Gear November 30, 2005 Share November 30, 2005 Closest Shell is on the opposite side just before flyover....... I retrun from the Larkin side everday.... also dun have... unless I'm not familiar to know where it is.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Clutched November 30, 2005 Share November 30, 2005 This is the 10-15% more capacity that I am talking about. you can get around 70L for a "published" 60L tank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwoon 1st Gear November 30, 2005 Share November 30, 2005 waste the few drips of JB V-Power.... still ok lar..... already gained from exchange rate. If you've noticed in JB stations, they never charge you for the odd cents... eg. pump in RM$10.53, they will take RM$10.50. even if its 4 cents.... they will forego it..... so if you wanna gain that few cents.... then always pump to the most benefiting figure..... ooops... did I just open the floodgates for uglier singaporeans?

Chimp Clutched November 30, 2005 Share November 30, 2005 Better than those jumping up and down on their car try to get the air out in order to pump more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwoon 1st Gear November 30, 2005 Share November 30, 2005 errr.... nope, I just rock my car when it is filled near to the brim.... Then can see the petrol level recede.... can still go in about 0.75 ltr from that point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kax2 Neutral Newbie November 30, 2005 Share November 30, 2005 (edited) Shell Petrol pump nozzles autocut seem to be incorrect ... I can squeeze in at least another 5 L into my 50L tank after the nozzle autocut itself ... Went caltex and can manage to squeeze 1-2 L more.

Brizzy Neutral Newbie November 30, 2005 Share November 30, 2005 yah, just need to rock the car gently a few times that's all. can manage to squeeze 35L for half tank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yc86 Clutched November 30, 2005 Share November 30, 2005 better than the guy who used the jack or put brick under the wheel so can squeeze more petrol in.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altum Neutral Newbie November 30, 2005 Share November 30, 2005 [reply] If your fuel tank is big.... even pumping in JB going in at the 3/4 mark can mean substantial savings. Average of say $1/ltr saving.... pump 20 ltr = Sing $20 savings.... To pump 20litres into 1/4 tank, you will need a 80litre tank. It must be a truck. I can squeeze in 24 liters, and I don't drive a truck with a 100 liter tank. Full tank only rated at 55 liters. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
