Guys tell me..yesterday I filled tank full of my FZ16.The tank capacity is 12L.But the meter crossed 12L to 12.43L . Fearing overspillingi asked him to stop but i gues sit could take more.

This means that was my tank totally dry...when infact I had drove my bike to the Petrol Pump. Atleast some fuel has to be there.My bike never stopped on the way or gave me any jerk? Is it possible for tank to accomodate more fuel than it is mentioned in the manual.

Should I raise an alarm against the petrol pump?Is there any changes he might have done with the fuel hose.

Relax, the full tank capacity mentioned in the manual is only upto the tank filler, not upto the brim. There is a good 1 litre or so in between that, but they don't advise to pour in that much due to overflow&pressure problems. Nothing wrong with the bunk for sure!

Well, Ankit there are 2 possiblities here..

1) Sometimes the bike can take more than usual..that has happened..!! Even after the correct amount of fuel is filled in..heard this from a couple of friends..i have not experienced it though..

2) That petrol bunk guy might have cheated you by not filling in correct amount of fuel..he might have done this by not reseting the meter/indicator..

Naah! Inder I saw the meter trip as 00.00

I read an article in Pune Mirror few days back that a Santro tank took 40L instead of its tank capacity of 35 L. The case turned out to be against the Pump ..that he might have tweaked the meter of the pump...

So got confused.....cannot trust this pump wala these days...

I checked with the pump..... The oil pump was the name printed on the bill.... The very same machine is also used for 2stroke.All they have to do is switch on the oil mixture...... check it myself....

@ All

Also did a test on a 5 lit pet jar..... guess it was to the rim 5 L.
Seems like my FZ was little more thirsty..so gulped down a little more petrol then recommended.

The pump owners was real worried when i told them this happened,and that I am gonna check it with government calibrated measuring Jar. I did and it was perfect. Asked me for a coke or tea.....

Thanks everyone..... especially Inder!
