Low Fuel Light

Anyone have a general idea how many gallons or miles left when the low fuel light comes on? We're installing a low side auxiliary pump on Tuesday and need to have the tank basically empty.

Well when the low fuel light and notice come on in my ZL1, I’m looking for a gas station because I can’t push it out of the road if it runs out!��

Color me paranoid and oldschool, but I do my best to never let the gauge drop below 1/8 and usually fill up at 1/4.

I do too, but in this case I need to let the tank go basically empty as we will be drilling a hold in the tank for the extra pump.

True, true, and I didn't mean to troll into your thread, sorry if it looked like I did

I recall when I was logging one night. headed to get some E85, that when the light came on I looked at the fuel gage PID and it was 1.97 gallons showing.

Don't drill into a tank with very low fuel or fumes. that is disaster waiting to happen Pros take the tank out and ventilate it.

It will be perfectly fine, the stock tank is plastic.

Well, I'm using a hand drill and the tank is plastic, so the only sparks should be from my electric personality
