Hi I was just wondering if there was a mod out there that will let you know when your tank is going low and you need to refill if any one knows if there is one please get back to me!
 
Tune your engine with a full tank, that'll make your engine run lean when you're running low on fuel. You best bet is to just time a few tanks, this will let you know when to come back and refuel. Of course your run time will vary depending on your tune and running conditions.

Oh, I was kidding when I said to tune with a full tank....don't do that.

Alright ill try that but if you by chance come to something that does what I posted can you let me know thanks!
 
Just time how long it takes it to run through a full tank and either time it or just guestimate it....if it runs 10 minutes then bring it in every 6-8 minutes and just refill it and go back to it.
 
When I had the stock tank in my stampede I would get annoyed with checking the tank. But I ended up buying a much bigger tank (75cc to 166cc) and now it doesn't bother me. I can sit there and bash for a pretty decent time before I get worried and check the tank level. Maybe you should consider finding a bigger tank for your rc car?
 
i remember years ago tamiya had a low fuel warning kit for its nitros,dont think it was too popular as it would likely be another spot to cause an airleak i would think
 
What vehicle do you have? I'm assuming you can't see the tank at all with the body on? If so, your only recourse for that is to get a feel by time and bring it to you once in a while to fill it. You don't have to kill it or run it empty to fill it. You can fill it while it's running.
 
Tune you engine and also adjust the fuel settings so that it will run good and have good mileage. You tank engines life time will also increase if you regularly tune it's engine..
