Fuel Gage
United States CanadaWhen the ignition is on, the fuel gage tells you about
how much fuel you have left in your tank.
The gage will first indicate E (Empty) before you are out
of fuel, and you should get more fuel as soon as possible.
Here are some situations you may experience with your fuel
gage. None of these indicate a problem with the fuel gage.
At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off before the
gage reads F (Full).
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 goes back to E (Empty) when you turn off
the ignition.
If you have a diesel engine, see ªFuel Gageº in the
Diesel Engine Supplement.
6-82 Crankcase Capacity
After refill, the level must be rechecked. Add enough
engine oil so that the fluid is within the proper operating
range. See ªEngine Oilº in the Index.
