ok i could me wrong but to my understanding the sportivo fuel tank size is 60L and then there is all the fuel lines and what not so it should hold roughly 65L

correct me if im wrong with anything

anyways i drove till i thought i was pretty much empty the other day the needle was touching the empty line

i went tot he servo and it only filled up 49L so i was kinda annoyed i did get 590km out of that tank but i could possibly get almost 700 if its the size its meant to be

anyways any info from any body would be appreciated

cheers guys

The Sportivos tank is 60 litres, the other Corollas have 55 litres, not sure how much extra all the fuel lines hold.

I find once I get to the E line, I've got over 10 litres left, enough for 110-130kms, depending on the driving.

I have ran my Sportivo for 120kms after the money light came on, then filled up with almost 60 litres (prolly around 58-59 to be exact).

I would say that the claim of a 60L tank is accurate.

I dun think there would be 5L in the fuel lines etc though. Thats a lot of fuel (imagine a mower fuel can full). I would say prolly 400 - 500ml, but please correct me if I am wrong if anybody knows for sure.

I think once the empy fuel light comes on, it shows you got approximately 5ltres left in the tank. So that should get you around for the next 40-60km depending on driving style.

xGSiR if i went by what you said then my tank is only 55litres so unless my tank is the wrong tank size then i somhow dont think so

BUT

i was just wondering AZZA i filled up with the needle touching the top of the empty line so bottom of needle top of empty line how far down did you take it for it to fill up at 59 litres

well im quite happy with that i got almost 600kms out of 50ltrs that i think is quite good

and i know its not toyota but im sure i remember somone sayin there is roughly in a commodre like 3 or 4 litres of excess fuel meaning fuel lines,filter and whatever else makes up the fuel run

In my 1zz i get 550-600km till the fuel light comes on (~7-8L per hundred k's).

When the fuel light comes on, it takes exactly 42 litres to fill up, the tank is supposed to be 55L, so i have 13L left which is another ~150km, however i dont generally let it run much below the fuel light...incase the factory manual lies and its really only 50L, that would be uncool - also running your car till empty is not much good for the internals...

Stivo i am sure is a similar story

I don't know fellas, I just hate the idea of running out of fuel and i trust no one or no thing (the fuel guage). When it hits 1/4 tank I go to the patrol pumps as soon as I can,

yeh i hate having the feeling of low fuel, and you have that constant feeling that the car's just gonna stop roadside with an empty tank, so you rush to the nearest station... well thats me anyway :P oh and i hear that running a tank dry isn't good because of all the air bubles you can get in the fuel lines :S

When ever I get a new car I like to do a run till empty, that way I know how far the needle will go, the Sportivo's fuel gauge needle will drop way past the empty line and will actually point at the "E".

Probably not recommended but I've had no problems.

If you're going to try this don't forget the jerry can.

hmm i think i might do that 2

i know its not good for the car but im sure it wont hurt it too much if i only do it this once

i just want to know exactly where it can go till empty just for personal reference so i only need to do it once

besides once it starts coughing and farting ill turn her straight off i wont try to keep going that way it should help out a little bit with not hurting the motor

tried using some fuel injector cleaner.. didnt do much...

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
