Fuel Light
Hey guys;
I was just wondering what an average rule of thumb is everyone uses for how much fuel they have left when the fuel light comes on. I know obviously driving habits and hwy vs. city driving will affect how much is left but when I ran my '00 Exploder when the fuel light came on I usually had about 15 litres of fuel left roughly if I remember correctly. I've looked in the owners manual and the 6.0 supplement to see if I could fine a guideline from Ford but couldn't find one. I believe I have a 115L tank, its a '04 Supercab short box. Thanks in advance.
Cheers

It's very hard on the injectors to run it out of fuel. If you even get close, fill it up. My buddy has an 05 lariat which says how many miles to empty, and that's not even accurate. It's run out saying 55 miles left to empty and once ran out at 90 miles to empty or something like that. Don't trust them, its not worth losing injectors and/or shortening their life.
