The possibility of debris in the bottom of the tank is one that should be taken into account before trying this.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Car range? (tank size)
So if I usually get about 20 - 25 litres in, then I am 10 litres off empty... I may try a run to 150 miles (with a petrol can along) Ian On Nov 25, 1:35 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 24/11/2008 23:14:21 GMT Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: My Xtreme shows gasping empty The Ford Design Standard for fuel gauges is that at the point it starts to show empty there should be enough fuel left to cover 50 miles.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Car range? (tank size)
I've got a bit over 150 miles out of it. On the trip to Le Mans in 2006 I averaged 24.6mpg, with my biggest fill-up being 29litres. The only thing to be careful of is the standard tank is not baffled very well, so you could start stuttering when cornering. I've got the injection tank, which has a crude swirl pot, but I improved it by sealing the bottom to the tank and routing the fuel return to actually create a swirl. The other half gave me some funny looks when I tried it in the bath with a windscreen washer pump and water (fully clothed I hasten to add). It did prove though that it could hold the swirl pot full while the rest of the tank was practically dry.
