Yeah, I went through most of it. Both evap valve worked fine and would activate with a scan tool. Vent wasn't plugged. I got to the point where the charcoal canister was the only thing left. It's someone else's problem now. Stupid Nissan.

2nd most gas ever! (In Mirage #2)
I pumped 30.7 L this weekend for my monthly fuel up = 8.12 gal (US).
(My record was in Mirage #1, @ 34.7 L = 9.2 gal.)
The Distance to Empty number vanished after it indicated 50 km (30 mi) remaining, and I drove another 20 km or so. I could have gone another 100 km / 60 mi.!
I have generally filled to (at least) 3 clicks in all my crapbox cars and have never had flooded EVAP problems. Have never had fuel pump problems either. Maybe my crapboxes are better designed than the crapboxes Scotty K works on.

Is there a thread about how far you can go on a tank of fuel? I managed 560km(348 miles) on my last tank. The last bar and entire gauge was flashing. Still showed 60km til empty though.
Not sure what that worked out to for economy because I just topped it off with some fuel I had at home from a quading trip last month. I'll top it off again one day and try to flood that charcoal canister...Then try to go further.

Nope, but good idea. I think I'll start one, copying your post over as post #1...
Check back shortly for a link...
Edit - here it is:
Thread: What's the farthest you've gone on a single tank?

I fill it right up to the outer bottom lip when the petrol price is JUST right.
skyblue - Thanks for the info. I have done that all on my cars. In the U.S. cars of charcoal cannisters. And some people go off the deep end about how I'm going to flood gas into my charcoal cannister. But I've filled them to the rim for years, and have never had an issue.
Does your car (in your country) run a charcoal cannister?

I believe so, could be an issue if you filled it right up and parked on a downwards slope engine first, interestingly the mirage doesn't have a drain near the top of the lip, my Suzuki Alto 09-on had a overflow slipway if you filled anywhere near the top and would dump it under the back of the car discretely.
It has the holes but I haven't seen any being dumped.
I get 600 to 700km on a tank. My Alto 3cyl 1.0 litre 5 speed manual eeked out more but also demanded 95 octane. I also ran 0w20 in it because the manual said so which I've got out of doing lately. Although I'm starting to think that I think to much about viscosity and have started to just buy whatever's on sale like a skinflint.
I'm waiting for a no frills electric car that does the same or better range that doesn't cost over 15 grand, I'll be waiting a while I think. I might have to convert a small car myself considering how they all insist on having all the mod cons but that isn't cheap either.
