By my guess, I have 3 gallons, but that seems high to me. What do yall they think?

 

I tested this twice.4 gallons each time.

I have anywhere from 4.5 to 5 when my low fuel light comes on as it will take 20 to 20.5 gallons to fill it up at that point and the tank should hold 25 as that is what FORD says it holds.

 

Funny, Vinnie and I just happened to be discussing this this weekend. Now I know i can make it home from the track ok next time it goes off.

 

I never "checked it out". I try to fill the tank when it down to a 1/4. Something about the fuel cooling the fuel pump or something

 

BDB,

When I checked it mine had four gallons.

Tim

 

I went 44 miles with the light on. I pulled in to refuel and was able to put 24.1 gallons in.

 

TRY HOLDING THE TRIP SET DOWN B4 STARTING UNTILL
TRUCK STARTS UP . LET GO WHEN U SEE Lese IN SCREEN.
THEN PUSH TILL FULE IT WILL TELL U HOW MUCH IN GAL
AND TENS .
Eng= mph

Tac= tach

m= Km/h

HOPE IT WORKS

 

Why would anyone WANT to try this?? Isn't all you're doing in the long run, screwing up your fuel filter..........Don't they recommend that you try not to let your fuel tank go below 1/4 tank?? Is this accurate, or have I been bull$hat on since I first learned how to drive??

Im with you JC. Since I started driving (not long ago at all), my dad has always told me to keep a 1/4 tank. Either he was trying to help me take care of my truck, or just didn't want to get his lazy self up to come bring me a can of gas when I run out? I dunno.

I too think you should keep the at least 1/4 tank of gas in there. Helps keep the fuel pumps cool no?

 

I think the have the fuel light so inaccurate because they don't want the fuel pumps exposed to air, they're cooled by the fuel, continuous running on low fuel may result in premature fuel pump failures.
