[DML] Re: Low fuel warning indicator

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
