Reserve is 3 litres and I found out you can do a race even if your reserve light comes on during the first lap :lol:

Sure is, at snetterton.
I had a lap or two where I thought :eek: but mostly kept the throttle as open as poss cos I was duelling with mikeW, and I still had some left at the end.

Yep, I found out the same at Cadders. Race 1 the light came on half way down Park Straight on lap 1. Kept going but tried not to rev it as high. Got to the end without a splutter but don't think I had the required 2 litres left at the end!

Exactly !
I like the idea of emptying the tank after a race and then only putting in the minimum you need, but can never be bothered.
I generally put a bit in for luck since I ran out at oulton on the last-but-one-lap earlier in the year, 'luckily' along the pit straight so I could coast round to the pit-return lane :D

I'd like to do that actually, so this winter I'll find the right tap :)

It wasn't by design Phil!
I filled the tank to the top on saturday morning and knew it'd last 4 sessions. Just forgot to top it up again for session 5 :o
