Hi OzHonda,
I'm a recent owner of a DC5r (finally saved up for a decent car ) and decided to see how much kms i could get off a full tank. Filled it up and restarted the 'trip a' odometer.
Now the low fuel indicator came up after the fuel gauge got JUST under the 1/4 tank mark. Done around 400kms I believe, fair enough I thought, I'll top up the tank tomorrow arvo after work.
Now the next morning going at around 80km/h with the just-less-than-1/4 tank (around 10mins into 15min drive to work) the car stalls. I thought the damned guy sold me a dud car! Got a friend to bring along a 5L jerrycan of fuel and it still did not start. Towed it to the mechanic and, it's alive! Mechanic said it ran out of fuel, even though the fuel gauge needle is nowhere near the "E" mark, saying the fuel pump is kinda high in a DC5 so fill up when I get to half the fuel tank.
Anyone has this problem? Now I get panic attacks when my fuel indicator gets to below half
