I'm wondering, because I'm worried that I might run out of gasoline while on the road. Thank you in advance for the info.

Depends on the air temperatures and the density of your right foot.

Only one way to find out...

Don't let it get that low. Fuel is the coolant for your electric pump. It's a smart idea to try and keep 1/4 tank in the car. Again, 90% safe, but no need to find out if you can be the exception.

That's right. It happened to him twice, and he got lucky. It's not true across the board.

Often, the relay gets toasted. I have NO Idea why, but working in a parts store, I've seen it happen several times. And we probably only saw 3-4 fuel pump issues a week.

That's why I said it won't happen, but it's a risk, and not one worth taking.

i usually fill up right before i get under 1/4. i've NEVER ran out of gas in my life, and don't plan on it.

You've got awhile. Ive driven mine once to where the gauge was a good deal before the completely empty mark. My fuel light came on when i was in daytona FL and i filled up once i got in town. (Sanford FL) which according to mapquest is 36.4 miles doing 100mph down I-4 LOL

gas light comes on with about 3 or more gallons left.. so anywhere from 30-60 id say... dependent upon weather conditions, air density, driving habits etc.

Thank you for the info, guys. The fill up was around 13.6 gallons so I did have plenty of miles left.

Check Gauges light=sucking lots o **** up into your pump and overheating it.

Id say thirty or so depends on if your driving up hills or not. Get gas when the light comes on and check your tripometer.

How far you can push it or till you come to a hill.



I've ran out once pulling into a friends house..my Gauge said 1/4, Tank was empty. Turns out the Float Lever was hanging up on one of the Clamps I had used to hold the Pump Bucket back together after I installed my Walbro 255. I ran it dry for the same reason once when it was at the shop..then I didn't know what it was.
I have it fixed now.

i had a thread in the general lsx dicussion section just a few weeks ago about this. lots of replies there.

"camaro amazed me again" was the title.

Please don't listen to LS6427 in that thread. He gets off on bashing other people's ideas when they don't agree with his own and treats people like they are idiots for disagreeing. The pump sucks the gas right out of the bucket that it's in, therefore it is not completely submerged at all times. . .especially not when you are out of gas. There is no magical bucket in the tank that holds enough gas to submerge the pump when the rest of the tank is empty.

95% of the time it is emissons BS. I would just have your tuner check the codes. Or go to Autozone and have them hook up to your computer and run the codes for free.
