Low Fuel Light

On my new 2003 Expedition XLT when should the low fuel light come on? I am on my 3rd tank of fuel and this time ran it down as far as I dared and still no light. When I fueled up I put 25 gal. in it. I am assuming the light should have came on.

Thanks

Low Fuel Light

It's being discussed here before that some 03' owners "low fuel" indicator went off with like one gal. left on the tank. My truck (02' - 5.4lt.) goes off with 5 gallons left on the tank.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but that's the last Iheard.

You can do a search on the subject and see previous posts.

Later!

My '03 with the message center gives a warning with 50 miles left to go. I am not sure what would trigger it if you didn't have the message center.

Yea, what's the worst that can happen if you run your tank dry?

My 03 EB with Message Center also warns me of Low Fuel when it calculates I have 50 miles to Empty.
