I have 2 NA's and I am too scared to wait for the "Empty light" signal to light up.


Does miatas have problems with the fuel meter sensors?

i have never seen it light up. is it broken?

 

[CrimsonMX5]

i've ran mine pretty low and no light ever showed up

 

[airbrush1]

don't think it has one...... I know my Nb desn't...

 

[Agent935]

Yeah, we ain't got no warning light.

 

[Skinnyroadster]

Yeah no light, I decided to see how far I could go before it came on.....it never did

 

[geffrocks_86]

ran out of gas pulling into the gas station before--no warning lights in the miata

 

[CrimsonMX5]

anyone ever fill up their NA from completely emtpy.


i've managed to get 10 gallons in max for my 90'

 

[jadiemazing]

yeah uhm... i had deep thoughts of this as well... i swear i had a gas light.

boo!

 

[snig]

Wtf? I have a low fuel light. Maybe it's only '01+ Roadsters?

 

[anti-FWD]

good to know its not just me. is this part of a classic car character? who knows. #-o

 

[Skinnyroadster]

Mine stalled twice before running dry, so I know I dont, maybe they added one for the 04

 

[Caldera]

Yeah, I waited once.

Then it died on the side of the freeway. I was not amused.

 

[Agent935]

I've run it within a third of a gallon of running dry but that's it. I usually fill up 10 or 11 gallons.

 

[wickdmarz]

I found that out yesterday actually...thinking I was on my home to get money to get gas and my car dies...no damn light...wtf.

 

[Dicker]

I've managed to put 11.2 gallons in mine before.

 

[ultimateforce]

You don't wait to wait till empty cause it will burn our your fuel pump, but you don't want to never let it run super low cause you'll get crud settling at the bottom of your tank.

I died in 3rd gear cruising down a major road. I found out the hard way waiting for the light on my 01. There was no light. The car was empty when the needle hits the top left hand corner of the 'E'

I'm not going to risk it anymore. Car drives better when there's more fuel in it anyways.

 

[wickdmarz]

you think they didn't have enough room in that damn gauage area to put a stupid light though...ugh. the darn FCs had enough buzzers that rivaled tornado warnings.

I have put about 11.5 gal in. At that point, I was past "E". IIRC, the car has a capacity of 11.9gal, and will show E (like most cars) when there is about 2gal left in the tank.

 

[boogie van]

oh good. I have at least 2+ gallons in my car now. Ill wait till next week to fill it up! or not, haha
