Fuel
Gage
Eb"
The fuel gage, when the
ignition
is
on, tells you
about how much fuel you
have left
in
your tank.
The gage will first indicate EMPTY (E) before you are
out of fuel, and you should get more fuel as soon
as possible.
Here are four situations
you
may
experience
with
your
fuel
gage. None of these indicate a problem w.ith the
fuel
gage.
At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off before the
gage reads
FULL
(F).
It
takes a little more or less fuel
to
fill up
than
the
fuel gage indicated. For example, the gage may have
indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took a
little more or less than half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
The gage moves a little when
you
turn a corner
or
The gage doesn't go back to EMPTY
(E)
when
you
speed
up.
turn
off the ignition.
If
you have
a
diesel engine, see

Gage" in the
Diesel Engine Supplement.
