Nope. There are 18 or 19 different bulbs. There is only 1 behind the low fuel indicator so if it was the only one to burn out all the other would still work.

Chaps:

No flame intended butthere is NO low fuel light in the 1998 models. (For the record, mine was built late in the model year and has no light). The low fuellight was introduced in1999 Mustangs (and continues).

For the health of your fuel pump, you should not run below 1/4 tank level. The pump is cooled when fully submerged and it does not cavitate (basically suck vapor). Heat and cavitation will kill the pump.

HTH,

Chris
