Re: no low gas indicator light ?

If you do a search you might find the thread related to the gas light indicator/fuel float problem some have experienced. To sum up, there were more than a few people that ran out of gas because their gauge stuck at a little less than 1/4 tank and they kept driving around waiting for the light to come on. When it didn't and they ran out of gas it was a great tip off something was wrong.

I probably drove my first 4 tanks of gas filling up at 1/4 for fear of the light not working...but then I said, "Are you kidding me...this is a new vehicle and if it happens to me I want to find out." Since then I've had numerous times where the light came on (and yes, you'll still probably have at least a few gallons left in the tank when that happens...that's why they have it come on when it does...gives you time to get the FJ in for a pit stop).
