When the petrol light starts flashing.
 

I typically refuel shortly after the petrol light starts to flash, i.e. 4L limit (pointy). But how many miles on average do you get before the light stays on perminently?

Mine comes on permanently first. I assumed that it started flashing when it was getting really low but I always fill up soon after it comes on. I seem to remember reading somewhere that they reversed the sequence at some point in from flashing-permanent to permanent-flashing or vice versa... either that or mine doesn't work properly.

To be honest, i 99.9% fill up before it comes on, but i have streatched 64 miles between lights!

My fuel light doesn't work.

According to the handbook, the light begins to flash at 4 litres and goes solid at 1.5 litres so I would guess you are going to get around 15/20 miles before it conks out on you

Mine's a K4 and has never flashed, only appears to come on solid.

Last night my light came on solid at around 140 miles, filled up having done another 11 miles beyond that, i.e. 151 miles. Still only managed to fit 12.6 litres in it (55mpg, woo hoo).

K4 or late registered K3?
