Hey guys, I'm new to the forums and I've had a 2010 Equinox LTZ for the last 3 months. It is a 2.4L FWD. I'm not gonna ask about fuel mileage, I've been around vehicles enough that usually you can't do much about the fuel mileage, you get what you get. My question though, is regarding my fuel gauge sensor, and the fuel tank capacity.
If I fill up my tank bone dry, it usually clicks off around the 64L mark, which would make sense, because I'm sure my manual says the tank capacity is 70L. The thing is, I can continue to fill my tank, to about the 77L mark. Extra capacity, cool, not a big deal. The thing is though, my fuel gauge, and fuel range, will not go down until about the 120-150km mark. For example, full tank, put 77L in it, fuel range says 760km. After I've driven 150km, the fuel range still says 760km. It will usually quickly compensate and the actual trip I can get on a single tank is rarely more then 820km. Anybody else notice this?
Other then this, I love the Equinox.
