Not on all DeLoreans!! On mine, the light comes on about 1 minute before you run out of fuel. Actually, it may have only been about 30 seconds. :( If the DMC low fuel light is like most cars, it is triggered by a certain level of resistance on the fuel sending unit. On mine obviously, that level is reached just as it runs out. Yours sounds closer to what was intended. Needle position is also determined by the resistance of the sending unit, but the calibration leaves something to be desired on most D's. Mine is actually pretty close on the gauge. It goes to to slightly over full when filled with gas, and runs out exactly on Empty. I would wish for a bit more leeway at the low end. :) Mark N VIN 6820 At 12:32 PM 6/24/00 PDT, you wrote: > I've found it begins "flashing" with ~2gals. left, & >stays on with ~1.5gal. left, regardless of where the guage needle sits. > Robert VIN 6924 > > >>From: paulheymeson@xxxx >>My fuel gauge doesn't seem very accurate > >
