Fuel GageEg 0BUNLEADED FUEL ONLYDomesticCanadianIIHere are four things that some owners ask about. Noneof these show a problem with your fuel gage and arenormal operating characteristics:At the service station, the gas pump shuts off beforethe gage reads FULL (F).It takes a little more or less fuel fill to up than thegage indicated. For example, the gage may haveindicated the tank was half full, but it actually took alittle more or less than half the tank's capacity to fillthe tank.The gage moves a little when you turn a corner,speed up or brake.0 The gage doesn't go back to EMPTY (E) when youturn off the ignition.Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you haveleft, when the ignition is on. When the indicator nearsEMPTY (E), you still have a little fuel left, but youshould get more soon.2-59
