Once upon a time when I was just reading the info in my Dice/Vida to get familiar with it that I noticed somewhere that my tank had 10 gallons fuel left in it.
Now I'm trying to find where it was.
Was I drunk the first time or did my attention (read IQ) was burnt with that fuel ?

for 99-2004 that is REM parameter display info. 2005 and later with two sender unit tanks will have the info listed in CEM parameters.

Thanks jimmy. But how come I see a "left tank" and a "right tank"?
The left one has 0 and the right one has few gallons in it.

Sergio, does the right tank reading correspond to how much the dash fuel gauge reports? If so, just ignore the left value. I'd guess l/r fuel tank values are simply built-in constants among the thousands of others the P2 computer tracks.

The left side gets emptied into the right side. The ejector pump continually suctions the LH side and delivers to RH side. When the fuel level gets much below 1/2 tank there is no more spillover across the hump and the left side will get emptied and read 0 liters.

Very interesting indeed.
To say that all my life I thought only Brits, builders of Jaguar, were complicated!
