Check gage light?
1998 Mazda B400
Ok, probably a dumb question but does the check gage light come on when you are low on fuel? It was coming on today and this was the lowest I had the tank. When I filled up it took 16 gallons.
One other thing, is the tank really 20 gallons on the extra cab model? My gauge always reads empty then I fill up and it only takes 15 gallons. ?
Thanks!
Chris

Make sure that the "Check Gauge" light actually lights up when you turn the key (to the "on" position) to start your vehicle. Not every dash indicator that you can see is actually hooked up for every line of vehicles.

My 98 does the same thing. The fuel gauge wanders a lot. Once it gets a little below 'E' it thinks something's wrong. You start to wonder if you're going to make it to a gas station, then you only put in 15.5 gallons!!!
You can see the place for a low fuel light, but I'm guessing it's only for the Explorers.

My B3000 is the same way. I imagine they're saying "hey...check
your guages! Yeah...that one! You're low on fuel!!"
Though, as you said, it's funny because the guage reads
empty when you've still got over 3 gallons left. My truck
is the same in that regard as well.
