Message	I'm still not convinced it always works. For the longest time I thought mine was broken but then, like you, I went really low and it came on. Sure enough, it only needed about 16gallons to fill (whereas we have 17ish in a tank. That being said, the next time I went out to the drag track, I tried to run it low to save weight (!) and in doing so, I ran out of gas. I watched the damn light the ENTIRE trip out making sure it wasn't just the grade of the hills and such making the light stay off. I got off the freeway just 1 mile form the track and the car started to sputter. Already pushing my luck and being a jackass, I turned it off instantly (so as not to suck up anymore gunk into my injectors than I may have already done). No light, no nothing. I was baffled. I'm still baffled. I just don't trust it anymore nor should anyone given the risk you run of wrecking some/all of your injectors by pulling up garbage from the bottom of your tank. When it's on E, fill it. "If I'm an asshole it's only because I've been turned into one by the sheer amount of stupid people and stupid logic that dominate Twinturbo.net today."
