2-79 Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage shows about
how much fuel is in your
tank. When the gage first
indicates E (empty), you
still have about one or
two gallons (4 to 8 L) of
fuel left in your tank, but
you need to get more
right away.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.
At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off before
the gage reads F (full).
It takes more (or less) fuel 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 E (empty).
It takes several minutes for the gage to read F (full)
after filling the tank.
