I have an 'old shape' V6 petrol / LPG ..

As I don't use much petrol, I had always assumed the picture of a petrol pump on the fuel gauge would be the low level warning light (as it is on my Toyota) ..

I was surprised over Christmas when my low fuel light blinked on ... but a bright orange light on the far right of the instrument panel (by the heated rear window 'on' light) ..

I wondered if there where any more 'petrol relevant' ones hidden away there ..??

There aren't any petrol-specific lights although glow plug and sediment warning are diesel-specific.
