Guys,

does any one know how much you have consumed litters of gazoline on the below numbers:

1/1:

1/2:

R:

you can find those numbers on your fuel Meter.

We need to know what year and model Benz you have in order to provide an answer. Better yet, tell us how many liters the tank holds.

Have a great day,

Perhaps the best way is for you to do some self testing. Fill your tank unitl it is full, then drive until the fuel meter reaches the 1/2 mark then fill the tank full again. How ever many litres it takes is how much you have used. The R stands for reserve I think, and mean that you are down to the reserve amount. In my 1986 420SEL the reserve is 10 litres, which means I have used almost 90 litres by the time I get to the R.

The gauge in the C280 does not seem to be perfectly linear. Out of a 16.4 gallon tank, it seems that around 5 gallons are gone by the 3/4 mark and about 9 or so at the halfway point. Not all cars are the same.

Thats an interesting hand held palm-pilot computer which I don't think the local MB engineers in Malaysia do keep stock of. All I know of the 300se is that it guzzles gas in town driving, and does excellent mileage on long distance hauls. Infact, the car does approximately 1,000 km a week - and it keeps the engine in perfect condition.

I think the MB engine runs better if driven frequently. Ya?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that when your fuel meter says 1/1 it means your tank is full. Like others have said 1/2 and R will mean different things on different models. Just drive it until you reach R then fill it up you'll know how much it takes. I'd wager it'll be constant on a single car. Same with 1/2.
