Evening all. How much fuel will be left in the tank when the petrol light comes on.My car is a 1998 W202 C240 Sport. I have looked in the manual but i cant seem to find it.
About 2 gallons or almost
I'll do 40 miles in mine with the light on - but won't push it much further. Even then I can't get 60 litres in, but I did have a misfire once for about 400 yards before the petrol station (after about 40 miles of not driving too much like a granny) so I'm a little more careful now.Many thanks guys. Would it be safe to say that i could get 40 miles from when the light comes on if i drive like a granny (no offence intended to anyone)

If you cannot get 60 liters in,,what you do get in will tell you how much was left
Very true, and it is surprising how much you may have left, even after pushing your luck! Best not to learn the hard way though.

So, I think it varies from model to model, but correctly set, it gives a decent distance.
