lol, I hope he's trying to say once the gas is back down near empty the bulb doesn't work again??

 

I know it goes off when i fill the tank but when it empty again the light don't come on.

 

ahhh....well i'd start with the sending unit in the tank. the level is determined by a little bob that floats up/down with the fuel level. maybe something's jacked to where when it goes up, it shorts something out so it's dead before it comes back down.

not sure...i drive a 5th gen, so i don't have a fuel light to give me hell.
