Any light when fuel deposit is "nearly empty"?

Does the Ford Freda has any light on anything that lets you know that you are on the "dangerous line" between running out of fuel and and being nearly empty?
I was waiting for some kind of light to come when my Bongo stopped (the deposit was empty).
Thanks.

There is no light, but I find that there is slight judder and a slowing down of speed. Then the bongo will not start. Any comment on this

I believe the new shape ones have a warning light.

the new shape does indeed have a warning light - however haven;t quite figured out how long you have before empty from the light coming on

It's about 10 - 15 miles of VERY careful driving and in any event yiou would not want Bongo to start drinking the gunge at the bottom of the tank!

Ours (1998 old shape) has a warning light, we can get comfortably 40 miles after it comes on, and then filling the tank to the brim (it's a 65 litre tank) only takes about 60 litres, so there's more scope yet. But I daren't try it!
