Well so far so good, the light works and so does the test
I guess if I'm pushing one day ,I'll know the light is a bad indicator to go by... and someone is probably thinking right about now just FILL up. then keeping track of mileage would be a pain.. svx1999 |

LoL i was thinking on this one the other day. My Buick has all digital guages & if you fill it the fuel gauge bars go balnk... when you hit about 3/4 tank it reads FULL & if you hit 1/4 tank you are walking ( only let that happen once to me * three times to friends who where warned **
Now the SVX the light comes on around an 1/8 but it seems to glow brighter as the gauge dips down (anyone else notice that ?) And if I do wait till it hits the E it still only takes about 15 gallons to fill it. I'm not willing to run it under the E but love knowing i can.

I remember when I was driving Kurt's SVX, we filled it all the way up, and the gauge said 3/4 full. I thought the one in the Volare was bad until I drove a SVX.

my old pearl car
the gauge worked great from Full till about 1/2
When I got about half a tank, the gauge would Plop to E Later on, kept driving.....and when I hit about 1/4 tank it would start registering good again till the real E. So it had like a flat area in the middle that wouldnt read properly. My sisters 94 does the same thing. Cool thing is, I havent yet to see an SVX that low fuel lite doesnt work. On all my cars it will even just start to glow a little before it totally illuminates, and even then I always have 2 gallons left. Even better, theres a built in CHIME that comes on when the lite comes on. Ive heard it a few times, pretty cool if you happen to have the radio totally off which is rare..... me
