[Sir Tigger KC]

9.5 gallons / 44 liters for a corsa c petrol
and the fuel pump is lubricated with fuel ,so running on empty is a good way to knacker the pump
and if the car hardly goes anywhere then that half a cup full of petrol in the tank will have lost it's punch

Do you think it might help if Opti gave it to someone who knew what they were doing? 

I hear he's buying Mrs Opti a knackered motorbike instead of the corsa on another thread 

FTFY Dave!

2 and a half gallon of petrol might be enough to register on a bike and get it to fire up though 
might even be enough to put some back in the mower and get that running too

He gets the jag, the sigmund and a motorbike, she gets a 17 year old corsa and a clapped out husband. Poor woman.

indeed ,apparently the housekeeping doesn't even cover the cost of fuel for her shopping cart 
at least his midlife crisis will be over soon when he falls off the bike

Bunch of old women.....

Every man should have a motor bike and a mistress.

That is the male equivalent of HRT; a motorbike and a much younger girlfriend.....

The alternative is a cardigan with wooden buttons which can be worn on a day out to the garden centre, or OAP meal. As for sex, forget it even existed.
 I'll die as young as I can but leave it as late as possible.

Don't forget the leather elbow patches.

.. or the dribbles of soft boiled egg on the cardigan.

Have you been in my wardrobe?

[Raeturbo]

Does it smell funny?

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Update.

Half tank of petrol.

Absolutely no sign of it sparking up. SFA.

Should I be able to hear the fuel pump activate when I switch on the ignition?

Because it spins without any sign of life my money is on either a faulty fuel pump or a faulty crank sensor. Both of which are 17/18 years old.

I don't buy the 'flooded' argument. No codes.

Go walk the whippet and let people who know about cars offer constructive advice.

People who know about cars don't spend weeks asking other people why it won't start.
