Alright i have the gauge cluster without the RPM's. i have driven with the needle almost on E. since i have the lowest of the line guages do i still have a low fuel light? or anything i know its stupid but i want to see how far i can go with out running out of gas

 

My basic 03 XL has a light, so I would *think* yours does. It's not smart running it too low, it takes fuel to cool the fuel pump.

 

When you turn the Ignition on the low fuel light should light for a second?

As long as the needle moves a little when you put the ignition on that means there is something there.

People always say you shouldnt run them to low or you will drag all the crap up off the bottom of the tank. Might need myth Busters on this one.

yeah sometimes when i fill up low, i will start the truck and it starts rough like it the gunk got stirred up

 

im just asking about if im driving will a low fuel light will come on, im almost on E and i have already driven 220 miles and i have a V6 im just currious how far i can go

 

dude i have an stx too.in the odometer area will say low fuel there is no light.also when the low fuel message comes on the first time you have 50 miles till you run out of gas.i push my gas to the limit usually 30 miles after that message appears i get gas.also you will have to push the trip reset buttom to clear the low fuel message and it will come back on and chime evey 10 minutes till you fuel up.

 

ok that was the answer i was looking for....i just wanted to make sure, didnt want to be stranded on the way to work tommorow

 

You might want to drain your tank and replace the fuel filter.

 

doesn't the pump already draw from the bottom?

 

There's no low fuel light. "Low Fuel" pops up on the message center by the odometer.

 

Pretty close to the bottom, but I bet that little filter bag on the pump works a lot harder on a tank that's almost empty. The increased sloshing would stir up anything that might be on the bottom of the tank, or one would think.


My fuel guage rarely reads less than a 1/4 of a tank. I've never seen my low fuel light.

 

Never had a problem with the message not resetting. Fuel up, turn on and go.

 

with gas prices raising every day i keep mine topped off, because if i dont know it will just cost me more the next day to fill up

 

no i was talking about when the light is on and i didnt fill up yet you hit the reset and yada yada yada.then i can read my miles.60k miles and i have never had an issue.knock on wood lol.

 

Gas actually went down a nickel here today.
