Reserve fuel?
Background:
My VW owner's manual claims that my total fuel capacity is 18.5
gallons. The next line breaks this figure down into two distinct
columns. Column "A" states fuel capacity: 16.0 gallons. Column "B"
states reserve fuel capacity: 2.5 gallons.
Question: What is this 'reserve' capacity? I have never been able
to pump more than 16.2 gallons into this thing. I notice that the
regular Quant-m list total fuel capacity as :16.0 gallons.
I'm curious for explanations. (Some of you may remember my question
about a tray in the back of the car. I still think this may have
been used for an extra fuel container)
Gone for the weekend, I'll be waiting with bells for answers until
Tues.
