 Re: MOT Pass
56 so far, just checking everything is ok.  Out of interest how many miles do people get out of a standard tank. I get just over 40, before the fuel pump starts making noise as it sucks air.

 Re: MOT Pass
That really does depend on many variables I saw 260 recently down to fumes with average driving, have done 280 before now with some left  some how, but has been a lot lower too West
