well, my low fuel warning light don't work
I found out the hard way. I wanted to see if the light worked I was pretty sure it was gonna. I was cruising down interstate 294 S. and the engine just died. It was raining and i was stuck there for over and hour. Trucks were wipping past me really fast. The needle was BARELY below E.This is my own fault though regardless:slap: , LOL. I just though the org. would appreciate a story like this.
is there another way to check it? LOL! |
I thought you were perma-banned.....

Everyone i've ever heard of with a MAX, their low fuel warning light doesn't work, knowing this I fill up when it reaches the lower half of the last quarter of fuel, and never let it fall under the E line...or else things could get SH*TTY...

Bad idea man, do you honestly need a light to tell you to get gas?:nutkick:

I swear mine doesn't work either. I've only let it hit E once, and I really had no choice (lots of evenings working til after gas station was closed) and the light never came on. Luckily I filled up before it was all gone, but still...it would be nice to know the light atleast worked even if I never let it go much lower than 1/4 tank.

I let it hit the E before cause I didn't have money to get gas at that moment. My light was on but very dim. Heads up to those new members here.
|
:idea: if you knew you were going to try this, you should have filled up a gas container and brought it along, to avoid potentially getting stranded.
|
my light works but it seems it's like bugging...it's dims in and out but it works. As long as it works i'm happy. Plus i try not to let the tank fall under half (helps on the pockets instead of filling up 70 bucks all the time 30 seems to do it)

lmao u shoudl have had a can of gas with you if you wanted to check.

mine works on both of mine it comes on when i go up steep hills when im just above empty. just wondering if this is me but i think i have a magical fuel gauge it moves up and down a bit every time. ill have like 100km on a full tank and it will be at like 7/8 of a tank and then it will go back up where it should be right at full.
