the gas gauge

sorry, i searched before i posted

how low can you go on the old gas gauge? ive never really wanted to push it. Ive only had it right at the empty line. How far over have you gone?

No more than 30 miles or so. I wouldn't do it because running the fuel pump dry (it's cooled by the gasoline around it) may damage it.

holy crap. Thank god i dont ever run it very far on empty

thanks

light come on and everytime when filling up there is a minimum of 2 gallons left in there. Heck even at 15mpg you get your 30 miles but my rule is 20 miles tops when the light is on.

I usually go until the light comes on. Takes 15.5 - 16.5 to fill so you have plus or minus 3 gallons left at that point.

Botton line, no need to push it.

When my light comes on I still have 5 gallons left. Sometimes less depending on how long I go before filling up but the norm is 5 gallons right after it lights up.

19.4 (total) gallons in Gen1 tanks.. What is it in Gen2 ?

I know that I can go 65 miles after the light comes on if I need to.

same here...well maybe not 65, but i have gone 50 after the light several times.

Gen 2 tanks are 21.1 gallons.

My Gen 2 X has about a 5 gallons in it when the light comes on. The most I can get in is about 16 gallons when the light comes on and the needle is almost on E but with 5 gallons left it is about a quarter of tank off. I dont know if it common among the Gen 2 but it does not bother me too much.. better to be a quarter tank off to the good than to think I have gas and run out.
