"What is this light for?" Uh Fred, it's saying..get gas now! Forget the gallonage left when it burns steady, but it isn't much. Under two, I think. I sort of ignored it once. Ran out 6 miles from the nearest fill up.

ok if thats what its for then i feel like a real dumb ass now. all my guages were messed up when i bought the car and this light has never come on,and ive had the fuel level almost empty on a few ocassions. thought maybe it was for aternator/low battery warning light.

Hi Fred, its pretty easy to pull the fuel tank sender unit from the top of tank, 5 screws I think.
Lift the unit from the tank with the gauge energized, see if the empty light activates as you lift the sender unit, simulating an empty tank. |
