Default DO NOT COUNT ON THAT !!!! Many have run out w/ half+ tank indicated.

The fuel sending units and displays problems are common issues. Search for LarryTT "fuel sending" or "display". I would not EVER let my tank read much below 1/4.

Default i second that! i've run out of gas twice when my gauge read 1/2 full...

i've had two fuel sending units, and one new instrument cluster - something to keep an eye on.

Default 1) Yes, 3 hrs. before you posted. 2) no.

Without a spout to depress the flapper, pouring gas in from a gas can is a PITA.

Not saying who was driving when it ran out 150 meters from the gas station!
