Hello folks,
Long time no-posting salutations. I finally got a replacement low fuel warning module for Gail, but I can't remember when about I am supposed to see the low fuel warning light glow. The owner's manual says at approximately 2 gallons left. I drove the vette until the needle was pointing the space between the red-highlighted area and the,"E". But no light.
I even slalom the vette a bit to see if i could make it to light up; however, it did not. I added 6 gallons of fuel, and the needle went to just left of the half of tank mark.
I read somewhere in which it said that the fuel tank has 5-1/2 gallons when the gage needle points to the 1/4 tank mark. If this is correct, that means Gail had approximately 3 gallons in the tank when the needle was pointing between the red zone and E (because how it behaved when I added 6 gallons).
What have been your experiences? I am sure not all L81's are the same when it comes to the circuitry and its parameters for the fuel gage, but at least your recollection may help me determine if my new low fuel warning module is working correctly.
Thanks!
