How low have you taken your gas level?
#21
I went to "35 miles to empty" just this morning. It is a 16 gallon tank and when you reach 0 miles to empty it takes about 14 gallons to fill up. So maybe the 2 extra gallons are Ford's way of protecting the fuel pump? I've never worried about that before but based on this thread I am now. I regularly wait until the warning appears because I don't like having to stop and top off any more than I have to.

Once I took it to 0 Miles Until Empty, not by choice, btw... then had to drive it another 10 or so until I found a gas station.
I normally fill 'er up,( after about 5 or so false gas pump shut offs... drives the attendants nuts!) then take it to 20 miles until empty or so once a week.
Sometimes my fuel gauge turns red at 10 miles until empty, sometimes it doesn't, but I rarely get to that point anyway.

I typically top off at half tank, but every now and then if I go on a long drive, I wind up letting it get down to quarter tank.
The absolute lowest I ever got to is zero; I mean not even fumes.
I just got my feet out, walked to the gas station about 2 miles down, bought a plastic gas can & a gal of gas so I can drive it to the pump.

To zero before. I tend to look at the gallons used to determine where I'm at, I will automatically fill up if it reaches 14.5 gallons used.
I remember waiting until it was down to 15 gallons used, and I remember driving up a slight hill, and the car started to stall. Come to the realization that was stupid of me, especially since my fuel pump could be sucking up all that gunk at the bottom of the gas tank and overheating.

I know this is horrible on the fuel pumps, but that was my fault.

This was totally MY Fault as I should have stopped for gas as soon as I left the house, but I was late for class.
My fuel light comes on at least once a week. I usually put fuel in it once it gets to "25 miles to E".
