WHEwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, here's one for everybody, How have you tested the LOW FUEL lite distance? I had to test it today, got 30 mi's out before i wuss'd out and got some gas. anyone brave enuff to try farther?

[Hacklemerc]

Back when I wasn't making much loot I tested that thing all the time. Almost weekly I would say. Not sure how much mileage I got wonce it came on but I know it was a good stretch.

[justbob]

About thirty for me as well, and really sweat the last 10 or so.

Have you ever pumped in 18.8 gallons? I have.

[a_d_a_m]

I have a hard time going below a quarter tank.
You guys are nuts!

[MERCMAN]

There is a light for that? LOL I have never seen it

[76719]

18.8 gallons WOW i only put 14 gallons in once.

[Bluerauder]

Mine has only lit once or twice in 5+ years. I rarely let it get below 1/4 tank and get antsy when it gets close to 1/8 tank. Playing "Chicken" with the low fuel light ain't one of the games on my entertainment agenda. The most that I have ever put in was about 17 gallons.

I ran it so far below E one time, it sucked the sag outta the middle of my back bumper. :D

[justbob]

Coming back from Kentucky i almost set a new record.:eek:

[Ms. Denmark]

Like a lot of you , I get uncomfortable at 1/4 tank. The first 1/2 tank takes it's time. For example, I filled it on Sunday. Drove 8-10 miles back from the station. Put 44 miles on it today and yet the gauge reads full. But that last 1/4 drains like a sieve. The yellow light has come on twice. I drove about 15 miles to get to the gas station. Don't ever want to find out what I could get away with. :eek: But I'd be interested in someone else doing the research.;)

[FordNut]

I've gone 50 miles with the light on. Wouldn't try it now, fuel mileage isn't what it used to be.

[GetMeMyStogie]

My old MGM would light up the low fuel warning when the remaining distance-to-empty was 80 kms, which usually meant about 12 litres remaining. I always assumed the MM was the same (tested twice so far, with no real numbers).

Consensus here is that the low fuel light comes on with about 1.5 to 2 gallons left in the tank. For me, that is only about 24-30 miles during daily driving. On the highway, its more like 37-49 miles.

Like some others, I usually never go below a quarter of a tank.

[offroadkarter]

I have gone to E before, i was able to drive to and from school on empty (about 14 miles)


Isnt it bad to run on E, like the fuel cools the fuel pump or something?

[ImpalaSlayer]

i have a pictue on my phone of the needle on my way back from capitol once. i was alsmost sure i was gona run outa gas. the needle was at its "rested" position and the take took 19 gals

[babbage]

Doesn't the gas keep the fuel pump cool/cold?? running near empty all of the time will kill the fuel pump a lot faster. yes?

[FordNut]

I empty mine regularly and haven't killed a pump yet.

I pumped 19.2 right after I first got it, was I PO'd, I told the station manager a few things about, quantity certification. Probably my fault, I must have filled the fill tube all the way. BTW 30 miles is it then my balls run out, I'm old and can't push 4400 lbs. very far.

I thought that we had a 19 gallon tank. :rolleyes: Even with the filler neck, I'd suspect that the calibration of the pump was off. Purely unintentional, of course. :D

[rayjay]

I'd be worried about clogging up the sock on the pump with the crap in the bottom of the tank letting it get that low. Lowest I've ever let it go was 1/8 on a road trip.

[Taemian]

Never seen the orange light myself. 1/4 tank is as low as I go.

[lucenti]

a recording comes on when you have 1/10 th of a gallon... sazz ok so your cheap now Walk!!!!!!!:corner:


:P
