I've never really worried about it, and I'm not particularly worried about now ..... but ....

My gas light has never come on. I've owned my car for over two years, and never, not once has it come on.

Other than the bulb, what are some reasons this might happen? I know I don't have a FTP sensor (car doesn't come equiped with one) ... is this the cause?

Help

 

how much gas is left in the tank?

 

At any given time?

I mean, it's never come on. Even when I've bled my tank dry. Last night, I put 11.22 gallons of gas in my car, the most I've ever put in, and it still didn't come on.

 

Mine has never worked either I hear this is a common problem.

 

i just ignore the fact that i even have one.

Durp ... I understand how to put gas in my car. It's just something I'd like to function, regardless of if I need it.

It's like how I throw a code with my LS swap because I don't have an FTP sensor. It's not a runability issue, but it pisses me off. Same with my gas light. I don't need it, it doesn't hurt me .... but I still like my car to be in complete working order.

Hey you could be in New Jersy.
So how about that

 

It's not my fault that Jersey has full service stations .... and signs that tell people not to wash their face and hands in drinking fountains

&lt;--- not from Jersey.

If you put that much fuel in the tank and the light never came on, then you either don't have one, or it is malfunctioning.

did they make them without gas lights?

 

I've ridden in my friend's cx hatchie before, and it had a gas light

What would cause it to malfunction?

Fuel sending unit?
Fuel tank pressure sensor?
Bulb?
Cluster harness circuit?

 

back from the great beyond...did you ever figure this out, my 6th gen ex has never had a functioning gas light either, at least in the 2 years i have owned it.

 

i didnt even no they had gas lights lol

 

my first eg had a gas light and it only turned on once in the 6 months that i've owned it. I thought my second eg had a bad cluster but turns out my gas light doesn't work either with 3 different clusters. i'm guessing there isn't a sensor or it malfunctioned after some time and was never recalled because no one really cared.

 

This is a common problem with the 6th gen civics. I've had my gas light come on I think once and I was scared shittless because it NEVER came on before. I think it's more of an idiot light then a warning light. Kind of like the oil light in hondas.

Funny (and probably pointless) story about the oil light. I spun a bearing in my y8 recently. Before I swapped it out I decided to shoot the rod through the block. So I drained all the oil, turned it on and reved to 6500. The oil light flickered ONCE before the engine blew. Now that's a light that is worth it's weight in gold.

92-95s don't have gas lights, I have a 92si and a 94 ex neither have a gas light, if you want to light up the gas light on your JDM cluster, i believe you have to install an integra sending unit

 

mine has never worked either on my 96 hatch...

 

and all 96-00 civics have a gas light

 

my 98 ex gas light has never lit up either
and for some reason its not accurate bein that my needle is always goin up and down (slightly)...so havin the gas light to work...would be a +

 

yea my gas needle goes all the way down when i hit the throttle.....lmfao!!!... turbo babyyy!!
