    Could be the fuel tank sender unit, with a bit of dirt on the bottom of the sender.
    Does the gas gauge read all the way down to empty?

    If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

      another issue related to the gas light.


      My gas light came on when I had the OEM 14 year old factory fuel pump, but it died and I replaced it with a cheap bosch.


      Ever since then, when my tank gets to about 1/3 its effectively "OUT OF FUEL" even though its not. I cannot get more then 13.1 gallons in it at that point and its very close to empty. So close that it will studder and sometimes fail to start. I'm guessing the new fuel pump isn't able to pull fuel out of the bottom of the tank aswell as the OEM. So for my cb7, 1/3 with no gas light = GET FUEL NOW or you will be walking.

        Yea, could possibly be the sending unit, like stated above.

        And I have the same issue 90H has. Once my needle gets to the 1/3-1/4 tank mark, my gas light comes on. With the car completely out of gas, it'll only take 10.8 gallons. So, that's telling me that my pump isn't the pump from 1991, therefore...I know it still has life, but it's makin' my gas tank look really tiny. A unit isn't hard to replace. You can do it yourself, without droppin' the tank.

              Mine was fine, I could run it till empty on the OEM pump. I replaced it with a bosch b/c it was ALOT cheaper, and now I can only run it till 1/2 of a tank or it will die.


              No worries, I just keep mine above 1/3 tank, no problems
