Fuel Warning Light?

Post by sharkies » Tue Aug 10, 2010 10:50 pm

I have a '97 P reg. Freda SGL5F but can't get a manual for it just yet. I am new to it and just about to go on a long journey. Can anyone tell me if this model has a 'Fuel Warning Light' or is it just the gauge?

Nope. Later ones have a light.

Welcome to the world of Fuel Gauge Roulette. :lol:

Mine hits the E at around 200 miles/360k but will drop well below that with at least 3 gallons left. But no two are the same . . .

Can give you some hairy late night moments though!! :shock:

mine is a 95 SGL5 with no fuel warning light, usually do 600kms from the rim to well into the empty square

No light just don't let it get too low.

In the beginning there was nothing , then God said "Let there be Light".....There was still nothing , but ,by crikey, you could see it better.
