it kills your fuel pump and clogs your fuel filter up... with all the crap at the bottom of the tank... and the fuel pump likes to be submerged in fuel for cooling purposes

Yes, I spose I was being a bit cheeky. Best pull the facia off the instrument cluster & check the globe then.

Oh… so they do have a fuel warning light? Mines F*cked too then, it’s never worked, so I just assumed that FTO’s didn’t have a warning light. Good on me!
I had may as well add it to the list of things to get fixed on my car! I swear it's never ending. lol

mine used to not come on till the needle hit the 'E'... but when i put my dials on i adjusted it so it come on when the needle hits the last bar...
(adjusted the needle not the light)

lol sam.. does that mean when you fill up to Full .. its like 1cm past the F line.. makes u think u have extra fuel? haha
I never thought i had one coz i guess i always kept fuel in the tank. But it has come on once or twice when ive had long runs and kinda put off gettin fuel till tomorrow or the next day.. or after the weekend when the price comes down. i find it comes on like 20-30 k after hitting the E.
Note: Possible group buy -- changing the colour of the fuel light indicator?!
haha

I have done this as I got a hold of clear inserts that show the diagram and the color. I simply used a clear one and changed the gobe color.
