[DML] Re: Low fuel warning indicator



Brian,

The sender is pretty new. The light is supposed to come on at around 
1.3 gallons remaining according to the owner's manual. Mine seems to 
come on around 2 gallons remaining but I have an original fuel sender.

If you're really desperate to know if it works, drive it until you're 
low, then carry a small, plastic jerry can aroung with you.
