The fuel gauge shows your out of fuel or you can only drive another 40 kilometers so you stop to fill up. Your are only able to put in 58 liters of fuel in. The fuel tank is 72 liters. Why does the fuel gauge not reflect that there is still 19% fuel left in the tank. Was Nissan to cheap to put the proper fuel sender in the tank or to cheap to have then done properly. My dealership shop foreman said I shouldn't worry as I know there is fuel left when the gauge reads empty. But how much fuel? Or is the tank smaller than the 72 liters that it is advertised as having? I guess the only way to find out is to run it completely out of fuel.

I'm driving on the highway yesterday and my Murano will not accelerate and starts slowing down - the RPM was around 800 still so I pulled off the highway into the shoulder. When I got to the shoulder - my Fuel light came on and the trip computer indicated I had 69km until empty. Then the engine and oil light came on, and the engine sputtered out.

Not satisfied with my distance off the highway I tried 4 or 5 times to restart the vehicle to move further off the highway - with no luck. I spent about 10 mins with the vehicle turned off contemplating my recovery plan and phoning a friend with a gas can. I then tried turning the vehicle on again - and it worked. Feeling lucky I pulled off the shoulder and drove about 3 kilometers to the nearest gas station without issue.

When I arrived at the gas station my distance to empty computer readout was 65km (I think).... Nissan's Murano has a 72 Liters tank capacity - I was only able to fit 55 Liters into my vehicle.

This exact scenario happened in July 2015 as well. Having been driving for 19 years previous to this vehicle and never running out of gas - I don't buy in to the "you ran out of gas" theory... something isn't right here.
