DTE Issues
Posted: Fri Feb 02, 2018 6:28 pm
So for a long time now, I've had my tank size set correctly for 140 litres for my ARB long range tank. However, I've noticed that the DTE is still quite "flaky".
Typically I find that when it tells me there is 80km to go, and I fill up around this point, I can put about 100 to 110 litres in the tank. This means, in theory, I have about 30 or 40 litres in the tank, which even at my worst fuel economy of about 15l/100km, I should still have about 200km to 250km to empty.
When I do fill the tank at this point, which is what I typically do, I notice the DTE gradually reduces with each tank fill. Down to something ridiculous like 700km for a full tank after about 5 or 6 fills.
If I drive the car down to 0km DTE and a few km beyond, and then fill the tank, the DTE kind of "resets" and goes back to a more pleasing value of around 1300km.
Anyone else observed this behavior? Any way to fix?
