United Kingdom 2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Stornoway Grey
Range From "0 Miles"

Found out today that I can get 7.9 miles at 80mph out of the fuel tank from when it reads 'Range 0 miles'. I zeroed the trip-computer when it reached 0 miles on the motorway as I could see it would be a fair way to the next pump.

Only just made it however and I actually ran out of fuel on the approach to the services and cruised down a hill up to the pump in neutral. BTW I did have a jerry can of diesel in reserve so I knew I wouldn't be stranded if I hadn't made it to the garage. Car started fine as soon as it was filled.

Has anyone had to go further on empty? Driving - TDV8 HSE in Stornaway / Ebony / Brunel
Sold - 56 TDV8 HSE in Java Black EBONY/RHODIUM/PRIVACY GLASS
Sold - 05 TDV6 HSE BONATTI/BLACK/RHODIUM 20''STORMERS, PTI AND FACTORY TINT.

Never run a diesel tank completely dry.................................. priming the fuel system requires a visit to the dealer and can damage the fuel pump. Thus spake the voice of experience - been there got a teeshirt! £££££$$$$$$$$$EEEEEEEEE (I don't have a Euro symbol on my keyboard!) 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Correct, and I sort of knew that, but I pushed my luck and I think I got away with it - just! Driving - TDV8 HSE in Stornaway / Ebony / Brunel
