Yes it does, it's near the empty on the fuel gauge. Not good for diesel to get that low.

Do not let your diesel run out of fuel.

Welcome to FTE you should come on over to the 6.0 section and have a look at the
tech folder at the top of the forum. You will find a lot of good 6.0 info.

Here is a link for you >>> 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Mine came on last week i was already heading to a fuel station. If the stated 28 gal tank is correct i put in 26.7Gal. That leaves Just a hair over a gallon not much warning in my book. I generally try to not let it get to the 1/4 tank mark.

I get a display and chime when I hit 50 miles to empty.
I have a 38 gal tank and have been down to 30 miles and
still only put in 34 gals at the most ever.
