Fukinitupagain Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Is there a reserve on the pathy? I think you're asking more of "can it run off of air" right? *Mine runs of of hopes & dreams* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nissyota88 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 I think you're asking more of "can it run off of air" right? *Mine runs of of hopes & dreams* my mom said right before i bought it from her "theres a 8gal reserve on it" i called bs cause thats like half the size of the tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 very true...mine always worked...except for the day I pushed it and was going to fill up if it came on...never came on and ran outta fuel that's how i found out mine quit working. it used to get semi regular workout.

adamzan Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 that's how i found out mine quit working. it used to get semi regular workout. If im that low, mine flashes slowly, and then once it gets really low (one time i had it that low) it stayed on. When I filled that time i still had 2.5 gallons left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC88Pathy Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) Easiest way to tell how your gauge works: get it to the E line or until the dummy light and then fill it all the way up. Almost all 87-95 Pathys (in the US at least) came with ~20 gallon tanks. That'll give you an idea of how well it's reading. Personally mine works as it is supposed to. Get it to the E line and it's about a 17 gallon fill. Wait until the idiot light flickers and it's about an 18 gallon fill.

LandShark Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Mine reads empty at approx 17.5gallons and I fill it up. I've taken it as low as 19.3 and still haven't seen the dummy light, but the gauge looked like it was bottomed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9sar Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I just filled mine. it took 20.25 gal. she dropped out as I pulled into the station. 20 gal plus the fill pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 my mom said right before i bought it from her "theres a 8gal reserve on it" More than likely your gauge reads low, as mine and most do. 8 gallon reserve is pretty funny though. I don't think I have ever put more than 17 gallons in the 20 gallon tank but thats filling it up when (or before) it hits E, not waiting to see when it will stall on me...

bigfisch1191 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) i think the tank is 21.3 gal and my pathy runs out just before the needel is touching the top left of the E and my tank light has never worked. just my 00.02 Edited April 10, 2008 by bigfisch1191 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msavides Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 My gauge read correctly for the first 1/4. Then when I hit 1/4 left in the tank, My tank is half full, when it hits E I still have 1/4 left in the tank. I can drive for about 45-50 miles with it on E before my light comes on. I have actually removed my fuel pump unit when the gauge was reading 1/4 and when it just started to hit E to verify how much gas was in the tank. As long as it does not get any furthur out of wack I will always know how much gas I have in the tank. (except when I am reading E but then I look for the fuel light) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
