I believe all cars have different content of fuel, I mean no different cars can have same reserve fuel. 2 Likes |

Xtaceeey: It's called 'factor of safety'. But don't always drive with yellow or red light because you may be damaging your fuel pump. 2 Likes |

Wow, very informative |

10-15% of your tank capacity. However, when the reserve light comes on, it indicates that your car is thirsty and that fuel prevents the fuel pump from overheating. It's not good to always drive your car till it shows the amber light. 3 Likes |

My car shows yellow light when low on fuel and with that it can even run 4d whole day... meanwhile my car consumption rate is very high coz on a normal basis i use more than 20 litres a day hence the question |

Archaa:It has never dropped to red, but I do drive in that yellow briefly till I get fuel. Hope its safe to drive in yellow? |
Re: What Is The Size Of A Car's Reserve Tank? by Nobody: 11:11am On Apr 16, 2017 |
nickxtra: it has never dropped to red cus you quickly top up next time ignore the yellow until it turns to red which can still take you up to 2 kilometres . try this experiment by keeping 5 liters of petrol by your side in case the car stops . some big cars also have a bleeping alarm when the red warning must have been overstretched |

Technically, a car has no reserve tank. As in a separate tank to reserve fuel. However, what obtains is a reserve level. This is the level you know approximately how much fuel you have and how far it could take you while finding a solution to your low fuel level. 4 Likes |

it depends. A big engine Peugeot is 20litres my dad has it, he changes car but not that particular one. Honda Odyssey is 15litres I tink. my friend drives one. last last it all depends on the product |
