Shredder1568908593 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 How many gallons of gas can you guys put in your v40/s40's? My 2004 V40 has a 15.9 gal tank and I have NEVER been able to put more than 12.2 gallons in since I have owned the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEEKAY Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 It's been a topic of discussion on several boards. I have never gotten more than 12 either and the light was on at that point. I've never been bold enough to try more and I usually get 11 gallons if I'm trying to take it on before the light goes on. You will find posts though of people saying they have put 15 gallons in. It is my opinion that the gauges are calibrated differently and could be driven well into the indicator light. It is variable. A post from MVS says there is space above what the indicator can sense that is good for about 4 gallons. The gauge they say is moved by fuel consumption and depending how far up it will vary. You can see the 4 gallons padded into the 11-12 figure we're now talking about when we fill it up "empty" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shredder1568908593 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Interesting, thanks for the responses. I'm going to drive around with 5 gallons in a tank in the trunk and see how long I can go after the light comes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
