500 Petrol

Just curious.
Why isn't the weight labelled on the VIN plate?
Just seems to be towing weight, and the max weights, but not the unladen weight.

They all vary depending on trim level and model.

Back to the OP, the fuel light coming on would be panic stations for me. We don't all live near petrol stations, and precious few of them are 24hr ones. Consequently, I tend to fill right up when it gets down below half way or so, which I could well be doing later today.

Back in my olden days, I had a Triumph Herald. Lovely car, 1.2ltr, sunroof, fancy wood dashboard. The fuel tank was in the boot and it had a three-position tap on the outlet ............. Off, On, Reserve.

Off and On speak for themselves, but Reserve allowed the fuel outlet to come from further down the tank. It was a positive mechanical foolproof system. Can't remember how much was left for Reserve, perhaps a gallon or so. The tank only held six or seven.

Cheers,
Mick.
yeah so max gross weight of the fiat 500 1380 KGS.
 
Our VIN plate says 1370Kg.
Maybe a TA is lighter, but 10Kg isn't much to quibble about.

Mick.
its funny because they say max load on a 500 is 440 kgs. But that means 440 kgs on a 1.2 pop will put less stress on the car than a fully loaded 1.4 lounge with 16 inch rims, opening sunroof, automatic, etc!
