I don't think it's good for the fuel pump or other fuel components to run it dry.

For this fill the needle was on empty - Maybe I am just not gutsy enough to drive until it turns on for fear of running out of gas...:doh:

Should it come on as a normal part of start up (to make sure it works)?

How many gallons are typically left when the light turns on?

It isnt an end of the world problem - just thought someone out there could clear this mystery up for me.

Thanks
