SINGAPORE: Singapore Customs said the number of people who violated the three-quarter-tank rule doubled last year. It said the figure went up to about 4,000 compared to that the year before. The rule, which has been in place since 1991, requires all motorists travelling north out of Singapore, to fill their petrol tanks to at least three-quarter full. One driver said: "The (petrol) prices are pretty high right now. If I'm going to Malaysia, I will go with a three-quarter tank, and top up to a full tank before returning to Singapore. "I think that's the norm -- a lot of people do that". Another said: "Most of the time, I go in with three-quarter tank or more than three quarters, depending on the situation. I mean, since I'm going to Malaysia, I might as well top up there". In Singapore, petrol costs about two dollars per litre, while in Malaysia, it's about RM1.90 or about 80 Singapore cents. The price difference is why Singapore motorists are heading north to fill up their tanks. Singapore Customs said the number of people violating the three-quarter-tank rule has been on the rise between 2008 and 2010. Offenders face a maximum fine of S$500. Some motorists go even further by tampering with their fuel meter. Last year, 23 car owners were charged with that offence, down from 24 in 2009. In 2008, there were only four such cases. Offenders who tamper with their fuel meter face a S$5,000 fine or a year's jail. - CNA -

Greeting to all Forumers! For those who love to draw, I thought of sharing some of my drawings with you, including the process of making of the drawings itself, so they could learn a thing or two. This drawing was done during my free-time and I enjoyed it very much doing it. The drawing was done with common 2B pencil, black felt tip-pen and A3 plain paper. For me, no hi-tech tablet required in order to draw. Blow are some shots of the drawing stages. A picture speaks a thousand works, as they say. I've included a youtube link below to show the entire drawing process. Do check it out, but ONLY IF you are keen. I know my drawings aren't really top-notch, but I hope to make improvement by drawing more. I think practice doesn't make perfect, but practice does make improvements. I would like to hear from you, anything about the drawing. To Mr. Moderator, please let me know if I have posted this on the wrong section, need changes, or need to be removed for some reasons. I will respectfully oblige. Thank you very much

This is what happens when petrol prices are through the roof. A hilarious video of a driver pumping petrol in Malaysia has surfaced on Facebook. In the video, the driver of a black car was pumping petrol at a gas station. After filling his tank, the driver starts to drive away, failing to realise that the nozzle of the petrol dispenser is still tightly attached to his vehicle. This results in a rather embarrassing moment as the driver experiences some resistance – without knowing why. The driver’s attempts to leave the station with the nozzle attached almost uprooted the entire gas pump. The hose that connects the car to the gas pump eventually gives way and detaches from the machine, allowing the driver to finally drive off. SG petrol price hike The entire country recently observed a substantial price increase in petrol after the Ukraine crisis. On Monday morning, Shell raised its price of 95-octane fuel by eight cents to $3.06 per litre. Other companies soon followed, with Esso at $3.04, Caltex at $2.98, Sinopec at $2.95 and SPC at $2.87. With the prices of oil soaring in Asia to USD$130.50 a barrel, observers predict that the costs of 95-octane across other brands will hit $3 by the end of the month. A diagram by Petrol Watch Singapore’s Facebook page highlights the most recent petrol prices at the moment. Netizens’ reactions Posted with the caption ‘Fuel prices in Malaysia so cheap he want to take the whole thing home’, many netizens found themselves relating to the driver after the recent petrol price hike. Maybe he's trying to squeeze out those last few drops? 🤣 Some netizens called out the person filming the entire situation for not reminding the poor clueless driver. Other netizens suspect that the driver might have been trying to scam the station and avoid paying for the fuel. Nevertheless, with Malaysia reopening its borders on April 1, many local drivers are looking forward to getting to refuel their tanks for less (and possibly 'da bao' their own petrol pumps as well). ======== Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news, and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

Was almost home after dinner when overheating light kit up. Turned off engine, opened up bonnet and noticed water was flowing out of the plastic expansion tank at its cap. Radiator itself seemed ok. What could be the cause? Bad radiator cap, blown fan fuse (checking tomorrow), stuck thermostat, bad water pump?

As above, the honda civic 1.8 fuel tank capacity how much ah?? Thanks!

Hi guys, Any place to recommend where I can buy a 3 feet fish tank with cabinet at a decent price? Not sure if a budget of 300 is enough. My existing tank was given by a friend and now the cabinet a bit pong kong after we found that the water pump was not properly placed and causing the fater to overflow into the cabinet. Thinking of getting a whole set. PS: Sorry guy, I wasn't referring to the ones at geylang...

Just to share. Recently my coolant leaks and I brought my car to Autosaver. Was asked to replace the whole radiator tank. Parts and labour (incl coolant and new thermostat) cost me close to $700. Now monitoring and hope the problem is solve...

Mr Goh does not seem to understand it is always has been about dollars and cents on this 3/4 tank rule. Although I am all for srapping this %^&*$!!!, the authorities will never agree to it because this means losing rich source of revenue from petrol duties. From ST Forum: http://www.straitstimes.com/STForum/Story/...ory_816291.html Time for three-quarter tank rule to go Published on Jun 29, 2012 DRIVERS of Singapore- registered vehicles have not been allowed to purchase the RON95 grade of petrol in Malaysia since August 2010. This petrol grade, which is subsidised by the Malaysian government, costs RM1.90 (76 Singapore cents) per litre currently, and is available only to Malaysia-registered vehicles. Singapore-registered vehicles can be filled only with RON97 petrol, which is no longer subsidised by the Malaysian government, and its price is subject to market forces. Currently, this grade of petrol costs RM2.90 per litre. Thus, the savings from filling our vehicles with petrol in Malaysia is no longer as attractive as it used to be. Also, the new Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex has not helped to resolve the traffic jams associated with the old facility. The main problem lies with the narrow two-lane road leading to the new CIQ facility from Singapore, which is used by both buses and cars. The congestion affects vehicles leaving as well as entering Singapore. This infrastructural constraint is unlikely to be resolved any time soon, and the congestion could deter Singaporeans from going regularly to Malaysia to purchase petrol. Given the above-mentioned developments, the three-quarter fuel tank rule would appear to be redundant and should be scrapped. Goh Kian Huat

used to drive a concerto (fuel injection), when i pump to the brim, it will give me 500over km. if i do some hard driving also got 400plus. Car was more than 15yrs old. i could do a century sprint in 10sec with a good launch in dry conditions. no fuel enhancer, just a good 100% synthetic oil and engine treatment. open pod stainless steel. straight through exhaust. spark enhancer. NOBODY believed me... (cars in the 90s had great improvments with juz an open pod and straight through exhaust, cant say the same for modern cars now) so i checked my car specs... oil tank was 50L... most model cars now are 40L? and my rims were 16inch 45s... but not sure if original was 14inch 65s... so maybe my tyres were to big hence the extra reading in my distance... hmmmm.. dont know leh... cause i had a friend who drove an EG 2-dr and he clocked 500km on his full tank too (note that i am NOT referring to highway figures) but he had 2 carbon seats, carbon doors, boot bonnet.. used 15inch 55s. hmmmmm........ is 500km really not possible on a full tank of petrol in petrol driven cars? i thought that the city n jazz DSI versions also were very furl efficent?

How much distance can you squeeze out of an empty tank
chitchatboy posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
Most cars today come with trip computers that can estimate the amount of distance you can still go when the fuel light comes on. But is it accurate? Even though the fuel light comes on, most cars' trip computer will still show you have some way to go before you really run out of fuel. What about cars who don't have a trip computer? How far can you actually go? Car Throttle has the answers for you by trying to go as far as its Honda Accord can the moment the fuel light turned on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY1OpAyfqAw -
Hi, Would appreciate some advice here. Mine is a 2007 BMW 523i. A few days ago the warning light came on with "engine oil level too low" so on Sunday I topped up about 2L (maybe a bit more) of Shell Helix 5w40. Today when my wife drove it home the car started to shake badly, and after parking there was a lot of yellow/brownish liquid on the floor. I opened the bonnet and saw what appears to be coolant oozing out of the expansion tank. The tank cap still looked intact, though. The tank is a genuine BMW one and was replaced a few months ago only. As the car was still hot I didn't dare to open the expansion tank cap. Could this be due to engine oil overfill? But why would that cause coolant overflowing? Or the expansion tank or somewhere in the cooling system leaked (it seemed to be slowly leaking so I topped up with distilled water some time ago)? Could that cause the car to shake? No engine overheat warning came up, though. Any advice will be appreciated!

Just a caution for brothers trying to enter with less than 3/4 tank. Noticed recently they've been checking cars entering. Went in twice for supper (after 11pm~2am timing).....once on weekday and once on weekend. Once i was asked to stop for a quick peek probably at my fuel meter (weekend) and another time the car in front of me was asked to stop for a sec probably to check. Not too sure if they checked randomly but just a word of caution for those whom tries.

While the world is embracing electric cars and hybrids, it seems like diesel cars are far from facing death as shown by Opel's Insignia diesel. The car has just set a new record after being driven for 2,111km on one tank of fuel in a trip from the Swiss Alps to the North Sea and back, with Felix Egolf, a former Airbus pilot, behind the wheel. The car, an Insignia 1.6-litre CDTi ecoFLEX, is factory standard and has an output of 134bhp and 320Nm of torque. It has an official fuel consumption figure of 25.4km/L but on the trip, the car's computer indicated an average consumption of 28.9km/L. According to the Egolf, he claims that this hypermiling tour with the car proves that anybody who has an anticipatory driving style can easily equal or better the official consumption figures. While that might be hard to do so on our roads, it is still worth to give it a try as it is pretty satisfying to be able to match the manufacturer's figures.

The footage is very scary. Look at the intensity of the fire. I know some people working on Jurong Island. I hope they are ok. Media reports that it may have been caused by a lightning strike.

Hi all, I have a Kia Carens (now driven by my brother) which I occasionally drive too. Once in a while, I had noticed that the petrol that I pumped does not go into the fuel tank. Why do I say that? I went to Esso to pump $20 worth of petrol.. but after I paid and started the engine, my fuel gauge did not move. When I pumped $20 more, the petrol reluctantly moved to 1/4. How can $40 petrol only up my fuel tank by 1/4? I am not driving a land rover! On some occasions, I don't have this issue. Btw, I pump at the petrol stations myself.

For those who love armored vehicles like tanks, you should like this. This cool tank-like looking vehicle, built by Howe and Howe Technologies looks like great fun. The company who created this is also responsible for the many special vehicles seen in movies like GI Joe 2: Retaliation and Mad Max: Fury Road. Powered by a supercharged 650bhp V8, the Ripsaw EV-2 can be seen doing long drifts and jumps. Maybe our army needs some of these so that our soldiers can travel to places faster! https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=53&v=AfVXPSNXTAk
