    MM low fuel@293 GMQ@289

    On a full tank commuting to work , the Marauder saw 100 miles of expressway action, each Panther hovered at nearly 300 miles before tripping the low fuel lamp.
    The Marauder went 306.3 on 18.6 gallons and her sister went 300.1 on 17.3 gallons. Ok , no more letting them go so low, it's gettin' cold out!

    I'm not convinced that running until the fuel lamp sparkles is such a bad thing. Hasn't seemed to affect me yet.

    Adjusted air in and air out.
    400+ timeslips.

    When in doubt, GAS IT! This will either fix the problem, or end the suspense.

    I did have to replace the FP in the Marauder this past year, but I already had it's upgraded replacement when it failed.

    I just make sure the fuel filter gets changed regularly. Had a pump go at about 130ishK IIRC. Just thought it was time.

    I have done this since 04 probably every other tank. No. big. deal. I have also never once starved the car for fuel letting it rip with less than a 1/4 tank.

    Same here. And my starting issue is gone since I changed the filter.
