How low can you go?
I just filled up today after running my truck way low on gas. I was heading home real late last night so I didnt want to stop and fill up. Well my truck was on E when I left last night, drove about 35 miles home praying I wouldnt run out. Oh yeah this was doing about 70 with no overdive (quit working last night) So this am woke up kinda late so I didnt have time to fill up, drove about 5 miles to work then another 5 at lunch to the gas station.
Put 15.2 gallons in it. I was thinking it was a 15 gallon tank. But my old truck was a 34 gal. tank and the most I could put in it was 32 gal.
Whats the most you guys have put in your tank?

I just fill my tank when it gets to 1/4...makes me feel like I'm buying less gas, don't like to see the big numbers on the pumps. (Yes I know...I just go there more often...)

i dont have a fuel light. lol. anyways, ive driven about 20miles or so after the arrow has hit empty. fit 11.9 in my 12 gallon tank. not bad. i believe its better to fill up arond a quarter tank though so a-ur fuel pump doesnt work as hard, and b-ur pump doesnt pick up the sediment and such that has sifted through to the bottom of your tank.

They are supposed to have a fuel light but I've run mine completely out on 3 different occasions and it's never come on.
At one time I could run 60 miles after I hit the big E but not anymore. I'm lucky to get 25 miles after that now.
I put 20.2 gallons in mine one time (xtracab V6). Not sure what it's supposed to be....

i beat you all... i ran out of gas completely. my sending unit is messed up. full is way above the full line then it drops slow then when it hit 3/4 it drops to a 1/4 really quick (like after burning one or two gallons) then goes slow and empty empty is below the e line.
