EX500 Fuel Reserve Question

7007 Views 13 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  Narcisse91
The EX500 fuel tank is supposed to be like 4.8 gallons. I think there is a 1 gallon reserve.

Is that 4.8 gallons total, so 3.8 gallons main?

When you fill the tank, it fills the reserve automatically, when you use the gas, it uses the main and doesn't touch the reserve. So, if you never use your reserve, that gas just sits there and gets really old?

Since you were on a ramp maybe you were leaned over and the gas did not reach the ON position. That would be when you needed to switch to reserve.
