Any of you guys know what the fuel capacity of a first gen is (mine's a '93)?
And anyone know how much diesel you've still got left when the "Low Fuel" light comes on?

Thanks,
CR

 

the tank is 30 gallons and the light comes on at 5 i believe...

 

30 gal. If I fill up when the low fuel light comes on it takes 23 gal.

What there's an low fuel light hells bells and here i've been sweating when it drops below the 1/4 mark does ya have to hit the "e" for it to lite?

 

I don't have the stock fuel guage anymore, but if I remember right it comes on about 1/8th of a tank. It's on the Cummins Turbo Diesel cluster with the wait to start light and the ABS lights.

 

Well, my fuel light always comes on anywhere from 1/4 tank to 1/8 tank. But it usually flickers depending on how fast I'm going or at what incline I'm parked at...

(I figure that if the fuel light is only accurate to 1/8, then I probably shouldn't go below that...)

 

30 gal tank, low fuel light set to come on at 1/6 tank= 5 gal.

 

Every truck is different. I have 2 1992s and one takes 24 gallons when the light comes on and one takes 26 gallons, most tanks are 30 gallons as others have said.

 

Thanks, gentlemen. I was thinking it was a 33 gallon tank, like my 2nd gen, but the numbers weren't adding up. 30 makes more sense.

I'm just spittin out what the book says. Yes I know each truck is different. They're Dodges . Dodge=Different.

 

around here i saw 2 sizes as said in manual 80 liters and 100 liters

 

When I ran out of fuel anf filled up it took 32.3 gal... That's including the 1 gallon I got to get it started again. When my low fuel light comes on I still have 100miles left. I don't truct my gauge

The size is should be stamped on the bottom. Mine is a 30.

 

Go buy the mileage and then you can't go wrong once you know what your getting for fuel mileage.

 

The only accurite meaning of the low fuel light..................it's on! Mine has a mind of it's own. It comes on and goes off at will. I think it is haunted
