95 liters is many. I thought many less. Thouhht 70 or 80 litres because the last time on the gas station the tank was1/4 full and I could refuel 60 litres.

It's 25 gallon tank, which converts to 94.6 liters, plus you can get another 6-8 liters in the filler tube.

Dont we all know that feeling :\

I generally hit the gas station about the time the needle is on top of that arrow, which usally means about $33.

The problem I am having here when filling up is that the pump shut's itself off maybe ten times before it is filled up all the way.
That's because of the gasfumes, I guess.
It is a real pain in the s to fill it up with the last 8 liters, it takes forever.

I was wondering if you stop pumping when the pump shuts off for the first time.
If you do it means you can fill up a lot more, the tank isn't full yet.
The fuel gauge won't show that.
Watch the gauge when you are driving with a really full tank.
It takes some time for the needle goes down.
What I am trying to say is, the gauge may show your tank is full but you can add a lot more fuel to it.


$33 for a full tank and you have a bad feeling about that!!!!

I have 30 gallon tank, and I can get another 5 gallons in the tank after it kicks off the first time - but it takes FOREVER!

Topping-off Tip...

When the gas pump shuts off and you want to keep pumping, try squeezing the trigger only halfway, or maybe a little less. it'll pump slower than normal, but it won't keep clicking off a dozen times and drive you crazy

Yeah, I am doing that but it will still shut off.
It takes forever to fill up all the way.

I've found it depends on the gas station. Just about every Chevron station I go to has the nozzles that shut off every 2 seconds after the initial shut off. If I *just* barely squeeze it I can get it to stay on for a while, but its such a PITA because it takes a looong time to get that 2-3 gallons in there. You also have to pay real close attention so that fuel doesnt spill out, since I always keep pumping until I can just see the fuel stating to build up in the neck.

I used to go to Citgo all the time, and theirs weren't as bad.

I've found that the stations that have old dispeners work best, they go A LOT slower so there isn't the 'bottleneck' of gas in the neck.
New, fancy, fast pumps are the worst - it also helps if someone else is using the other dispenser.

What helps sometimes is to keep the pistol (is it called that way, I wouldn't know? ) in a different position so that the flow is in line with the filler tube.



I was wondering, can you guys lock the trigger so that it pumps gas automatically or do you have to squeeze the trigger all the time.
You usually could do that but not anymore.
