Fuel Gage

Your fuel gage shows
about how much fuel is in
your tank. The fuel gage
works only when the
ignition switch is in the
RUN
position.
Here are four concerns some owners have had about
the
fuel gage. All these situations are normal and do not
indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage.

When the gage pointer first indicates
EMPTY
(E)
you
still have a little fuel left (about one to two gallons)
(3.8
to
7.6
litres), but
you
need
to
get more right away.

At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads
FULL
(F).
It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than the gage
reads. For example, the gage reads half full, but it
took more (or less) than half
of
the tank’s capacity
to fill it.
The gage moves a little when you turn, stop or
speed up.
When
you
turn the engine off, the gage doesn’t go
back
to
EMPTY
(E).
