low fuel

Ok is there anyway to turn off the low fuel warning ? problem is we have a F550 with a bucket lift for tree trimming. as you can guess doesn't drive much but is running so the low fuel may start chiming at 1/2 - 3/4 tank because when it's estimating the miles till empty we're getting like 2 - 4 mpg.

something does not sound rite, low fuel warning runs off the fuel level sensor, not the mileage run.

From what I've read it calculates based MPG . The low fuel comes on @ 40 miles left. Well at 2MPG & a 25 gal tank it'll come on at 3/4 tank
