So how far can you go on the gas light anyway? I never let my car go below 1/4 (nasty stuff on the bottom of the tank? dont know but i dont wanna find out) but im curious. I was reading the manual for fun and when i got to that part i noticed it says "A small reserve" but no amount/distance.

i think there's about 3-3.5 gallons left when the light comes on, but at that point it will turn off occasionally. it will stay on steady when you have 2-2.5 gallons left.

i've seen people push there max pretty far with their light on, but i think you can get roughly 50 miles out of it

i fill up shortly after the light comes on and i usually top it off with about 15.5 gallons or so

I drive mine down to and below the E line every time before I fill up.
I used to drive it until the red light. Those "gauges" aren't the most accurate things. I drove on the highway for a longggg time while the orange(or red) light was on. It will sort of flash and then come on and stay on when its real low.
One time i guess I drove it too long on the light cause it stalled out at a traffic light. The car started right up but you couldn't let it idle or it would stall. It stalled again before I could make it to a gas station.
Anyway, I don't drive it until the light comes on anymore.
I remember someone opposing the whole "there's crap in the bottom of your tank" thing cause they had looked inside one.
you should do that, you've got a lift.

Not so sure about "crap in the bottom of a tank." I've read somewhere that gas exits the tank from the bottom, so there wouldn't really be any crap in the bottom.

crap on the bottom is kind of more from the older days when rust and **** got in there on trucks and what not but i still dont like going below 1/4. 50 miles? wow i expected like 5-10 lol

i wouldnt worry about crud on the bottom of the tank unless the cars sat for a year with the same gas.....

I usually never go below 1/4 tank but Im boosted. Once it gets below 1/4 tank its kinda hard for the walbro to do its job. If I ever get below the 1/4 hash, I dont boost till I find a station.

i dont believe that there is anything at the bottom of the tank... i mean u always use up all the gas anyways... thats what the fuel filter is for... i always only fill up with like 4 or 5 gallons.. and drive the car untill the needle is at the bottom of the empty square.. i dont have any problems....
