[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 1471294, member: 434"] The tank hold 25 liters or 6.6 gallons. We have found the FJR tanks to be fairly true over the years. If you filled up with 19-20 liters to the brim and and it was completely full when you started, you likely had 5-6 liters of fuel left. Can the FJR use the very last deciliter? Probably not. Also a factor are individual floats and also floats of different generations. There's variation when the low fuel light will come on. If you're wanting to "push the limit"--then you'll need to setup an experiment yourself to purposely run out of fuel and see. However, remember that running a fuel pump dry is hard on them as they're cooled by the very liquid they are pumping, and may come at the expense of a shorter life. * And I'm purposely avoiding fuel economy as that's the not your core question and inevitably will hijack this thread and litter it with, 'i get x mpg' or 'i get y km per tank' and drift away from the core OP.
