There is no set distance as mentioned, seems to be around 40 miles remaining depending on conditions. :dunno:

When mine comes on, it takes about 23 gals to fill the tank. 26 gal tank, 3 gals left means about 40 - 60 miles if it is possible to suck it flat empty.

Did you happen to look through the owners manual? I know on a previous vehicle that the tank capacity was listed as well as the reserve fuel tank capacity. I think 2-3 gallons is somewhat normal.

The fuel light is an idiot light for idiots who can't read a fuel gauge. There is no set time or distance. Go get gas.

 

And also read the recent post about running the tank too low. Keep it above 1/4 unless you like changing fuel pumps.

If your truck has the DIC, there is an option to see how many miles are left in the tank. :dunno:

 

It's not real accurate, but just as accurate as asking the fools on here! :M16:

20-30 miles, any more and chances are you'll be pulled off on the side of the road...

Exactly. Most people don't realize that the fuel in the tank helps keep the pump cool.
