Hi the fuel guage is on zero the trip computer is on zero the most i can get in is 42 litres (have tried this on the last two fill ups)

That's my point when I fill up when my warning light comes on I'm lucky if I get 30 litres in

6 litres as stated in manual. And also performing simple mathematics. Well if a car is advertised as having a 50 litre tank and you can only put 41 in then one would assume there's a problem.

But surely a 50 litre tank when it hits reserve should only have 6 litres approximately left in it? So filling it up when near empty I should be getting more than 41 litres in it? As I could assume when my tank is showing zero I could still run the car further as I still have 9 litres of fuel in which really makes the fuel gauge redundant. I have never had this problem with other cars I have owned.

It has been showing 10 miles. Took it to a Skoda dealer and they said there was nothing wrong with it as this was a safety feature of the car but I do not believe them so am taking it further

I have a 64 reg diesel Octavia and when my fuel tank is showing virtually zero when I fill up I can at most fit 41 litres in it. Does anyone else have this problem as I thought it was a 50 litre tank.
