Does anyone know how much fuel you have when the Low Fuel Alarm sounds and how may miles can you safely get before you are out of fuel?

When I have the display "Miles to Empty" it drops to about 95 miles then the alarm comes on, and I no longer get a mileage display.

My low fuel alarm came on last fall. I ended up taking 65 gallons but I drove about 28 miles after the alarm went on.

So mine looks like it goes off with 15 gallons remaining but all may be different. I fillup when I see low cost gas so I usually don't get to hear the alarm. And the wife hates it when I get below 1/4 in any vehicle.

The "Low Fuel" alarm has only come on 1 time. I usually don't run much below a half tank. I believe I had about 9 gallons left at the time. It is hard to estimate, because if you don't have the right angle on the MH, you have trouble filling.--(air Lock). I try to have the front end lower.

My low fuel alarm sounds when I get anywhere under ½ tank. My low fuel alarm is my wife saying, "Don't you need to get gas?" She is just too paranoid.

Mine comes on at just under an 1/8 of a tank. I have put in as much as 63 gallons but that was an exception to our family rule.

As per the owners manual: At are below 15% of tank capacity.

We have only experienced the low fuel alarm when the IP occasionally goes brain dead for a few seconds and then resets itself.

Although our IP was replaced under the recall campaign, our fuel guage still reads so far off that we have no confidence in it all.

So, we usually seek a gas station whenever the guage gets to about the half mark. Anyone know of a fix for this very inaccurate fuel guage?

Interesting... I did not realize that I had a low fuel alarm. Is there a light on the dash with an audible? I am a little confused because I also do not have a mileage indicator either.

Although my coach is a 2003 unit, the chassis was built in 2002. Would that make a difference?

My low gas gauge is the odometer. The fuel gauge broke the second week I owned my MH (used - no warranty), so I drive about 250 miles and fill up with about 30-35 gallons.

Dale I have an 02 chassis built in OCT. Do have a screen just below your speed dial on dash? If you go to 'FIND' above and type in " ip cluster" you will receive tons of info if you have the display and how to change the display and read info off of it.
