i was gonna say, that is canadian dollars right?

the most i paid was like 70 USD

 

Yeah, you get a lot of crud sucked in from the bottom. No thanks =D

Junk in fuel can be bad, but mostly what will happen is if your filter isn't catching the junk, your injectors will be clogged and have to be cleaned, unless it's REALLY bad. It shouldn't be REALLY bad because the fuel in the tank is constantly sloshing around which kind of stirs up the tank so whatever junk is in the tank is getting sucked in anyway, but filtered out.

However, I'd be more worried about burning out the fuel pump. In order for to it stay cool, there needs to be a constant supply of liquid. When you're running on fumes, you're making your pump work harder and run hotter. When you're in motion, what's left of your fuel is sloshing around and it's completely depriving the pump of any liquid. Keep doing that and your fuel pump is going to prematurely fail. That's a pretty costly repair bill.

 

Ya Canadian dollars, though 1 Canadian dollar is worth the same as 1 US dollar, it's the gas that's overpriced. Equivalent to like 5.50 a gallon

 

Gas is ridiculus up there, I just spent a month up there and had to cough up almost $500 for gas. Its quite nice up there lol, but the gas is just nuts

 

i dont see how it matters because your fuel pump is always pulling from the same point.

 

Yeah. I see a thread now and again about U.S. folks complaining about high gas prices. Then I take a look and think "High? I wish that's what gas cost here..".

 

^LOL! I guess on where you live prices would be different.

 

Speaking of fuel filters, ours are located inside the fuel tank. Good job Nissan. I mean, why make it easy?

Every other cars I've owned have the filter sitting on the firewall.

 

Back to the subject: How much gas have you pumped? Normally I don't let SLICK get below 1/2 full but on a trip I put 18.6 gallons in her tank, gauge was below 1/4....

The most I've had to fill was only 64.31 litres or 16.99 gallons. The price of gas at the time was $1.446 per litre ($5.474/gallon) so that fill-up cost $93 CND. The very next day the price of gas in the GTA went down $0.07/litre.

 

The fuel level goes down when the cars parked on an uphill and the fuel level goes up when its parked on a downhill.

 

Hahah I know right? I changed the fuel filters out from my parents' cars for their 100k and I was curious to see what mine looked like after 20k.. I was scratching my head over this when I read it in the manual... smh. WTF were they thinking when they make us remove our rear seats to access them. And then you get the smell of gas all in the car and it could drip somewhere.

 

my gauge must be all messed up. most ive put in mine was like15 gallons. thats with the gas light on.

 

Our tank is ~20 gallons with ~16 gallons being a "full" tank. ~4 gallons are reserve so your car is fine.

 

+1 for the fuel pump being a **** to replace, don't run on fumes!

4 gallons seems like a huge reserve.
