acenase Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I was running low on gas (according to the needle) and I noticed my "Low Fuel" light doesn't even come on. Here's a picture of how low my needle was. Is there a way to fix this? Or maybe I still had enough fuel for it not to activate yet? When is the Low Fuel light supposed to come on? My speedo & gas gauge needle is burned out so this is leading me to believe that the low fuel light might be as well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I would agree with the bulb being burnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryrigginson Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 that is not low yet it has to be about another quarter inch or more lower for it to turn on. You call that low on gas you could drive atleast another 100 miles on that tank seriously. Also The bulb is not bad on your car. I would put alot of money on that.

acenase Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 are you serious? i could drive another 100 miles on that? it doesn't seem right, it looks so low so I get paranoid!! lol! Ok.. Next time it gets that low, I will still drive it! How much miles do you get once the Low Fuel light goes on though?? Im assuming when it goes on you have about half a gallon left in your tank so about 8 miles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acenase Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 WOW! Well you're right! Right after I took that picture, I put in $20 of gas (5.765 gal) and today it was running about that low again, so I decided to fill a gallon of gas and put it in my trunk because I was on a mission to see how low it would go. I ended up driving around to about 135 miles on that 5.765 gallong of gas and the Low Fuel light went on, but kept fading off - fading back on. The needle was actually ON the "E"! So I'm thinking the car won't run out of gas until it's BELOW the E. I was getting tired of driving around so I finally filled up my tank at 135 miles. I put in 14.841 gallons, so that means I can actually go Over 300 Miles to the tank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
