The light just came on, orange circle to the left of the E. I turned the sub on and it went out after 10 seconds. Any one know how much fuel is left when it turns on?

I tested mine last week, calculated to have less than 10 liters of diesel left in the main with full sub when the fuel light came on.
Any idea how much fuel is transferred on start? When I filled up last week there was a two liter discrepancy between Bowser and scan gauge. I put it down to a different Bowser. I usually fill up from the same Bowser each time. But I also didn't drain the sub this time.
Yeah I was thinking that the sub would transfer more over the course of using a full main tank. My Sub was still reading over the full mark when the light came on.
I think the sub pump runs for about 15 seconds when you start up and it took my sub about 8 mins to transfer half (about 15l). My rough calculations is around 1/2l. So 10 starts = 5l. But I don't think the automatic transfer occurs till the main is down a bit.
Does the sub pump have a filter? I thinking that it should and would need replacing.
How much is left for low warning?... varies from truck to truck depending on dings in the tank bottom and position of the thermistor in the tank etc. Seems to be about 10% remaining roughly.
Sub pump filter?... don't think so. If there is it isn't one designed to be "serviced".
Sub pump rate?... I'm sure I saw it quoted as 1.2 to 1.5 LPM somewhere and certainly seems what most people experience so Fity's numbers look normal.
Also looking at the flow rate in the main tank filler neck seems to confirm the same rate.
Pretty much covers the E symbol. I've pushed 50 km with the light on and then was 117 L to fill up wouldn't do that againQuote:
