The nearest shell garage is probably 5 miles, but I might get stuck in traffic on the way.

I've had the light on solid and still only been able to get 48-49 litres of fuel in when I've filled up.

That's what fuel filters are for.Seriously, having drained and inspected my old Mini's fuel tank after 20 years on the road, there wasn't one bit of crap in there.

i've done 70 motorway miles with the light on, managed to get 54 litres in when i filled up, so i had 1 litre left![]()
