Thats what it is supposed to do...you aren't supposed to let a tank run that dry.

 

ugh...

 

i remembering reading somewhere that you can adjust your gas light somewhere...i have to check my helms again...i will look for it after school

 

wtf? Do you know thats its bad to run your fuel pump on low gas. i know it strains it or doesnt make it work properly. I thought thats what fuel light was for

 

wtf. its bad to let the tank go empty. you atart sucking up alll the **** on the bottom of the tank and it cloggs up filters, injectors

 

yes i know it is bad but the thing is it used to come on when i had 1/4 of a tank left. now when it comes on i better get to a gas station before i stall.

 

ok i see the issue now.

 

It could be that your needle got off track or something... Like the needle sits in a different spot now, and it seems like your gas light is now coming on at a different time. ****, I don't know if that made sense or not... someone get what i'm trying to say?

i get it thanks.

 

it sounds to me like its working properly

 

umm yea thats what its supossed to do
i dont think quarter tank calls for a gas light.. and honestly jsut watch your gas gauge
its not that hard. and if you realli dont trust ur gas gauge then calculate how much gas u normally get to a tank and go off ur odometer.

 

i don't even have a gas light

 

i never even let my tank run that low. its bad for the fuelpump. also i never let it run that low incase somethin happens like being stuck in traffic and not being able to get to a gas station for a while

 

yeah I have a really bad habit of letting it run till..well.. it barely starts, lol. I dont have a gas light, but thats def not the problem...

That's an urban myth.. It's all bullshit.. Where do you suppose the inlet to your pump is located? At the top of the tank where there is NO GAS??? Haha.. use your head before you say something.. The pump lives on the bottom of your tank.. end of story...


Further more..

If you are really worried about it, check it out.. get a 5 gallon can of gas.. fil it up.. when your light comes on, throw the tank of gas in the back of your car and go for a drive and see how long you can drive before it starts to sputter.. this will give you an idea of what your range is.. Now all you have to do is take the gas can, pour it into your tank and find a gas station.. Easy as that..
