Fuel Gage 
I 
United States Canada 
When  the  ignition  is on,  the fuel  gage tells you  about 
how  much  fuel you  have  left 
in your tank. 
The  gage  will first  indicate  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  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.
