Random, and odd question really Lozzo. All vehicles do, however usually, the issue is human error rather than the fault of the vehicle, but not always.

pushed mine quite a long way but never actually run out. By my calculations (K3 here) by the time the yellow light comes on, you've got between a 3rd and a quarter of the miles you've already done on that tank left.

eg when the light came on at 160 miles, i've pushed it to 200 without any problems. But all SVs are not the same so ymmv.

It would be rude and very wrong of me to name and shame Zunkus because he and his family treated me so well when we met on Tuesday... Ooops, I just did
