Hi All.
Just have a question with the twin tank setup.
Explaining this I will call from empty to 90L the lower tank and from 90L to 180L the top tank.
1: If the tanks are full (180L), does the car take fuel from the top tank till its empty and then from the lower tank untill they are both empty?
Or
2: Does it take fuel from both tanks simultaniously and use both intank sensors to combine the signal to the fuel gauge.
I know the 90L light illuminates whilst between E and F untill turning off and starting at 1/2 gauge when more than 90L in the tanks up to F (180L).
If (1) is correct there must be two intank fuel pumps,?
If (2) is correct there might only be one pump. But im sure there is a hose joining both tanks ( which goes over the rear axle, I think)
Or if neither are correct,,, how the hell does it work?
If (1) is correct, and the car is only driven with about 1/4 to 1/2 in the lower tank for years on end, would that mean the top tank would dry out or go bad?
I have had the car since new and still dont know.
It don't think it matters but I have allways wanted to know and first asked this question at the dealer. You can add the dealers blank expresion here.......
Thanks.
Jeff.
