Accelerating Away
Hi all,
Loving my Series 3, loving the V8, don't mind the poor mpg as the smiles-per-mile are what I wanted
Only small fly in the V8 ointment is the 100 mile between fuel stops, it's getting a bit embarrassing. Last night i was in a hurry so made sure i had a 20l fuel cannister with me when i went out as i knew it was low.....and ran out....was in a hurry, it was dark, i forgot my tank has the extending filler neck and i poured petrol all over my training shorts, leg and feet (on way to Krav Maga training) just getting a few litres into the tank....it then ran out in the car park as i was parking it at my destination. Filled it up after training using the extending filler neck and all was well (that works really well, i didn't spill a drop!).
Any suggestions for carrying more fuel - would prefer not to have fuel canisters on the outside of the vehicle (or rattling around inside), but it's an option.
Dual tank? - perhaps remove the under-passenger-seat storage and put another tank in? - easy enough to do in a series 3?
did a search (poorly) and didn't find a lot of recent advice.......what have you done to extend your range? (if anything)
thanks
