So after getting my car going again I found the fuel gauge stopped working in my 67. Unfortunately I just filled the tank to the brim to find this out.
I have taken 9L and put in a jerry can in the boot for when the first splutter hits. I've done about 100 city miles so far and am starting to sweat
I have no idea of the city mileage of this motor. I'm guessing I would run out around 250Kms.
How far do other peeps get on a tank with their mid strength 347 EFI automatics?
Ha ha. Always happens. You will get some warning before it stops. Head the warning. As for distance travelled. Better off guessing the litto numbers. Just too many variables.

Have established that its the fuel sender unit and not a wiring issue, fuel gauge or voltage regulator?
If you can get the car up high enough to get a 20 litre drum underneath you can put a length of fuel hose on the sender unit and with a full tank it will start to siphon out of its own accord. Might need 2 or 3 drums.
Yeah when I replaced the efi pump under the back of the car about 12 months ago I had to drain a full tank. I figured this time it would be easier to burn through most of it.
My neighbour had 3 20L Army jerry cans that I borrowed. I figure running up 200Kms on this tank should get rid of 3/4 of it and make it much easier to manage.
