How does the "Reserve Tank" Work???????????????

In Most of the Bikes,we have a provision for RESERVE TANK  to help the rider to go to nearest fuel station when the main tank runs out of fuel.Some might misunderstand that reserve tank is a separate tank,but actually it isn't.It is a lower section of the fuel tank separated by the main tank by a cap which opens when the fuel tap is turned to reserve mode.


This provision is used in bikes which do not have fuel gauges to show fuel levels.The reserve capacity of a fuel tank may vary from 10-20% depending on the manufacturer.

We can calculate mileage of a bike by measuring the reserve to reserve distance traveled and fuel consumed.Mileage depends on various parameters of which the road traveled is one.

Talking of roads i want to show you some crazy ones.Here is the link...............Roads for Fun.
