How much petrol can be squeezed into ES5 after the first click?
After the first click, if i continue squeezing, after 1 or 2 litre, can start to see the tank like a bit overflowing. after a while, the level drops, then can continue to pump. It seems that i can go on pumping forever, machiam like got some overflow valve that let excess petrol flow out. So i usually stop at about 4 litres after the first click.
Anybody tried filling to the very brim?

That is because fuel that comes out from the nozzle is full of bubbles. Once the bubbles escape, more space left.joelwong wrote:machiam like got some overflow valve that let excess petrol flow out.

Essentially, the ES 5 has a 50litre capacity gasoline tank and has made some additional space for air to breathe and expand as a safety feature.
you want to pump to the brim it should be around 50 plus a bit - that is the maximum safe volume your tank can hold.
why are you trying to put in that extra few litres? just so you can save a bit more?
just come back and top up again when that 50 is used up lor...
si beh ti ki... ask funny question ... and saving that $5 ? at the risk of your car BLOWING UP due to overfill and overflowing fuel tank meeting Mr spark...
of course can ask for fun la... so we also give you for fun answer and describe what we see KIA SU singaporean do at JB... everybody laugh until stomach ache... stoopid sinkapolearn... damn ku ku cartoon type... yes they got money - buy big car lar stoopid... fuel tank 130 liter capacity fill until you shiok... a few litre so huan noh to squeeze in... boh lui mai hua chia...
