Today I found out exactly how much the EP3 fuel tank holds.

From previous experience I've gotten 14.93 gallons



The above station has a pump that nicely slopes away from the nozzle so that I can get the tank completely full, average of 13-14 gallons per empty fill up. After the nozzle "clicks" off I slowly squeeze in another 1.5-2 gallons till overflow.


Well just this AM I ran out of gas just .2 miles from the gas station I frequent. (see above pic) After a little pushing I was ready to finally do a "bone dry" refill. Gas light had been on for just a little over 85 miles.

I got 15.01 gallons in before it overflowed. (sorry no pic, didn't have my camera)


So an EP3 tank/filler neck holds 15.01ish gallons of fuel.


cheers,

No EP3 should ever go that long without drinking.....but it's a good peice of info to know....85 miles before it runs out of gas when the light comes on huh?? I'll keep that in mind.

 

excellent!

~450 miles in mixed driving, then...if filled to it's capacity.

 

take into consideration some of those gas meters r waaaaaay off. some give more than u have, some give less.

cliff notes, gas stations rip people off, be wary!

 

i guess jack's glad he ran out in the AM rather than the PM. it's brutally hot over here.

 

too hot!

How do you know this?

 

I believe the EP3 fuel tank capacity is 13.2 gallons. I dont know if it is such a good idea to overfill it but its cool to know some extra can fit, lol.

Evan

 

gas must be cheap if u filled up under 20 bucks

 

don't break your fuel pump.

 

back in 2003 maybe?

 

You can get 14g of gas for under $20?! I can BARELY get 8 off of $20.

Guys, check the date on the picture...

this is NOT the only station I get &gt;14gal fill ups @ so I'm very confident of my findings

 

How many gallons are left when the fuel light comes on? I drove quite a bit the other day with it on, 50 miles or so, and still only got 10 gallons into it.

pumps get impected/tested every year by a county assigned worker every year, I doubt they get away with this.

 

Thats cool that the station has 93 octane. around here 91 is tops unless you want to drive a ways.

 

haha!!!! i didnt know u could go that long on the gas light

 

Gas light generally comes on with two gallons remaining.

You guys are under the assumption that he actually give a crap about his car.

The idea is to overfill it to the point that as he drifts along the back roads spilling gas everywhere, a deer (or biker) will hopefully run into the side of the car causing a massive explosion (right after he removes the shocks) which the causes a loss of steering control (which may also be caused by having no shocks) resulting in the car careening off a cliff into a lake (right after he takes his CD collection and radio out).

 

Damn you and your 93 octane haha.

 

I don't think in 2003 is even that cheap though. $1.80/gallon may be. $1.34 ? no way ...
