The past couple of times, I filled up the gas tank when the low fuel indicator light comes on. I filled up to 15 - 15.5 gallons, meaning that there was about 5 gallons left when the fuel light came on.

Is that how it's supposed to be?
What have you guys been averaging?

 

same here

 

same here....seems bout right

 

Seems about right. I think that low fuel light comes on a little too early... even for an Infiniti/Nissan. I know and Altima is a Nissan, but in that car, the light came on when I had about 3 gallons left. Not too sure why they would leave a greater margin for the G.

 

Mine comes on when im like on fumes

 

5 gallons!?

so that means i have 3.5 gallons left when i pass the E line?

 

same here... im on E, maybe even a little below and I go fill up and it takes 15 gallons(!)

 

I've been below E and still it only takes 18 gallons.
-GP-

 

I had the problem with the tank not reading full.

Dealer replaced the float and its fine.........for now

 

i've noticed the float is very sensitive especially when you floor the car or take a hard turn. you can just get it warrantied and replace the float.

 

Mine would't fill all the way. It would only go to about 3/4-7/8 full. Took it in to get repaired under warranty and it worked fine for about 2 months but now have the same problem again. I'm taking it in tomorrow to have it looked at again.

 

20 gal capacity, light comes out at about 3.5 gals left

 

mine comes on way early i can drive for days with my light on .. it is kind of annoying

 

your fuel sending units need to be replaced. call your local dealer for warr replacement.

 

Guys,
On the coupe, there is an issue where if the pump is fast, you'll only be able to put about 17 gallons in it even when it will hold more. It depends greatly on the pumps. I've had a few instances where I know it was empty and the guage (even after "filling" it) didn't show full. If your showing full on the guage, it might be different. But I drove down the street and still put a few more gallons in it after it settled.
