W202 - Petrol Reserve - How Much ??

[Aletank]

Just out of interest has anybody worked out how petrol is actually left in the tank when the petrol warning light comes, On W202's ?
Be pretty useful to know

Its roughly about 8 or 9 litres when the orange light comes on in mine.

Based on a 65 litre tank and having to fill it up with around 54/5 ish litres .


Its loads anyway , but , i dunno how long i could put up with that orange light burning into my eyeball

and all the gunk from the petrol tank cloging your fuel filter!!

dont forget the fuel pump is cooled by the petrol running through it.
