How many miles are left in the tank when the gas gauge hits "E" and the low fuel message comes on? It seems like the tank is pretty dry when this happens....My low fuel message came on and I drove a bit more and then drove up a hill and my truck was sputtering!!

Thanks for your input

 

I'm not sure how much is left in the tank but the first time it happened to me I almost shat myself b.c I was in bad traffic at a major interestion and couldn't find a gas station.

 

the reserve should eb a good 5 gallons at least, cuz when ya fill up on E on a standard tank u prob fill up 22 max gall. so yea if ya drive like an r-tard its 45 miles on reserve

 

low fuel level comes on at 50 miles to empty.

 

I got no where near 50 mi. before it was starving for fuel!!

 

and you were on an incline......so you pulled whatever was left in the tank AWAY from the pump....its a good way to cook the pump.

 

well how were driving ya maniac hahah

 

bahaha! shat yourself! ...o sorry. lol

 

I think this will depend on what cab, bed and gas tank configuration/size you have. It does tell you this in the owners manual. Mine has 5 gal. left in it when the light comes on, but I have a 30 gal. tank.

 

You should NEVER EVER run your vehicle that low. IT not only lets the pump get hot because its not submurged, You get all the trash thats floating on the bottom. As you found on an incline the truck has the possibility of stalling.
