Blu Max

1FasMax

seem to work ok to me....comes on at about 1/8 tan or less....not sure how far you can drive on it....i would say theres about 2-3 gallons remaining when it lites up

I don't think mine works either. I have an 89 max, 4 doors. Everytime I come to the E, I'm always waiting for the warning light to go on. Will it ever? Should I keep on driving and see if the light comes on?

UndecidedMax

Those are the same questions i ask myself, should i keep driving, hahahaha, i wish it worked thats a coo feature that i like.

kingocat

hahahaha...I think my car is the same. Although, I have never attempted to drive until the gas light comes on. An E is an E with or without gas light warning. hahahah.

I would certainly not recommend that the Maximas not be driven till the gas tank is almost empty. I will explain why.


Pump gas (all of them) contain sediments which act as stabilizers and these sediments collect on the bottom of your gas tank. If you would run your tank dry, you will then be introducing these gunky substances into your fuel sytem........and that includes fuel lines and filter.

It is always a very good idea to keep your gas tank full as much as possible. This will also prevent from water vapors from entering and forming, especially if you pump in oxygenated gas.

So, please don't run your tank dry....not even to check whether or not that stupid light will come on.

FYI all Maxima's are 4 doors...
My gas light works...I think. It's only come on 2 times in 3 years, then again I always fill up at 1/4 tank.

Would changing the fuel filter help increase my gas mileage?
What can i do to help my gas mileage? anyone?

Foo90SE

it will suck down gas mileage...but so will a lot of things Id start at 02 sensor though. im not sure if the throttle position sensor could cause it or not. But wouldnt be a bad idea to check it too. A haynes manual would tell u how to do that.

thebull

my damn light never worked either

93 SE

1/4 tank mine goes on,but my friend max ,his gas guage doesnt even work,it sits at empty. would that be a pain to fix

Brandon90gxe

havent checked mine yet, but im close right now... but damn my mpg sucks too! im almost at empty, and i have like 230 miles on the counter. thats like 15 MPG, which isnt very good for an engine like this i dont think... how the hell can i increase this milage, and not pay too much to do so?...
