Tank on EmptyTank on Empty
 

Just Keeps Going

May 7, 2008 about Mercedes-Benz C Class

I dove way past the engine light going on.... digitally it tells you how much you have left before empty ( usually starts at 50 ). It seems to show a low amount emidiatly when the gas light goes on for awhile then will bump itself back up for more miles. maybe a reserve tank?

One time driving highway long distance I forgot to fill up and kept going... I knew I was doomed but there was no turning back. watching the gas meter go down and down. Digitally telling me there was 10 miles to go I noticed a toe truck up ahead on the highway, So i figured I needed to get ahead of that just incase so I could flag him down. Finally comming up can see a small town light way up in the distance...The reading tells me 0 miles left...still going 0 miles left. Turnes out I was probably able to get another 10 - 15 miles after that. coasted in to the gas station without a hitch. just made it. The toe truck driver pulled up at the gas station 2 minutes later. pushed it to the limits without going dry.
