their isnt one on my 91 250, found that out at the same time I found out about my Gauges being wrong, one reads high the other low. lucky my other tank had some in it.
low fuel warning should be standard equipment in a diesel.
I'm not too concerned since I have an elec fuel pump and a simple 2 port fuel filter. To bleed the filter I simply crack the line on the filter output, turn on the ign and let the pump run till fuel comes out and tighten the line and I'm done. If I didn't have the elec pump I'd carry a Mighty Vac or equiv.

Never needed this extra.

There's a low fuel warning...it's called the 1/2 tank mark [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]
On my 92 f350, I don't dare let it get below 1/4. It will work below that as long as I'm on the freeway, but in town the slightest turn or hill and it sloshes the pickup dry and it's priming time.

I guess I must be hard headed cause I've run mine out a couple of times, a few actually. There surely is no fuel warning light on my 86, kinda wish there was, not that I don't watch my gauge anyway, but it would be cool to know how far you can really push it. That is if it was reliable, unlike our gauges. The reason the truck won't run below 1/4 tank for some folks is the rotted pickup syndrome. I redid my front tank pickup and now can run it bone dry, and will soon be installing a new sender and pickup in the rear tank for the same reason. Good luck

It was first day in may and I started the truck early that morning to get to work. It started like it used to and went for about five seconds... then it died.. I was thinking it just died coz it was cold or somthing like that and just keept on grinding intil the batterys was nearly flat, then I started my wifes car and hot wired the batterys and kept on grinding.... and grinding... and grinding... intil my wife said I couuld take her car to work, so I did. The next day I was all over the truck trying to find the cause to it not starting and I think I have checked about all when I notice that the front tank was very close to emty... hmm, can it...? No, it can't be, but I switched the level anyhow and guess what? the truck started right away! Wow, I didn't dare to tell that to my wife for a couple of days, I tell you!! The first time she asked was wrong I sort of explaned it away.... still embarrest about that one...
