Fuel gauge: low fuel indicator

[lamadoo]

Was reading some past threads.

I read that we should not let it drop to 1 bar (blinking). Always try and keep it at minimum 2 bars because you don't want your yaris running low and on fumes. All the gunk in the fuel filter will get stirred and stuff, if someone with more knowledge can explain better.

The fuel filter is extremely difficult to change, some say its unserviceable so we should take care of it and use decent fuel on top

Also keep in mind that some of us have had problems with the fuel gauge not reading correctly, so that it reads as 1/4 full, but you're almost out of gas. Keep track of your miles with the odometer so you don't run out of gas.

I have this problem as well in my Echo. Sucks.

That depends on what your car is doing. I wait to the bar is flashing to fill it, and I have never had to put more than 10.5 gallons in. An entire gallon is plenty extra.

But that is my car, all Yaris' seem to be different in this regard.
