Since the E means empty you might want to consider buying more gasoline.
the excellerator engine emegency brake The E that signals "empty" on the gas gauge
It would be better to write: My gas gauge reads empty. Note that 'gauge' is singular, so it needs the singular verb, reads. If you had several cars all with gas gauges that read empty, then the verb would be read.
check for broken wire from fuel sender unit in fuel tank to gauge. check fuel sender unit for proper operation. float may be stuck in the tank then check fuel gauge
I have a 2008 Rav4; filling the tank from empty (gas light on) to full is 12.5 gal. The total volume is about 14 gal. We have a 2010 RAV4; filing the tank from empty (gas gauge needle on E and gas light on) to full is 12.5 gals. The specifications in the Toyota owners manual says the tank holds 15.9 gals. We are frustrated by having to gas up so very often. At a quarter full on the fuel gauge we can only put 8 or 9 gals. in at each fill up. Our old Ford held 19 gals. and the gauge was accurate so when we gassed up we could put in twice this much gas (15 to 17 gals) allowing gas stops half as often. Don't mean to complain, we love this car but wish it could take on more fuel to have fewer fuel stops.
E-mail me at bulruq@yahoo.com with a more detailed description of exactly what the gauge is doing and I'll help.
Honda E series ended in 1993.
Any car will stall going around corners with only about 1 gallon of gas left in the tank (15-20 miles). A car should never be driven that low anyway as most modern cars have in the gas tank electric fuel pumps. The gas is actually used as a coolant for the fuel pump and if the car is driven too often down to the dregs of the fuel tank the fuel pump will prematurely fail due to overheating. It's a bear to replace the in tank fuel pumps on most cars. Also, it's not good for your gas mileage either to run the tank dry on a regular basis. Most fuel gauges are not all that accurate so when the gas gauge comes just to the "E" there should be about 2-3 gallons of gas left and you shouldn't push it beyond that. You should actually not drive past a quarter tank if at all possible. If you want to get a rough idea of how your fuel gauge is calibrated on a new or new to you car, fill the car completely up with gas. If the gauge reads much over the "F" (such as up to a quarter space on the gauge if it were marked past "F") you will most likely run out of gas right when the gauge hits "E". If the tank is completely full and stops at "F" without going past, you will usually have a small buffer at "E" before you completely run out of gas.
from what i hear this can happen when someone tries to syphon your gas tank it breaks the little meter inside your tank
I find the evenrude e tec to perform very well, and has low manatiance and good gas mileage.
I have a 1998 Sport and have several times gotten the low fuel light. Never actually have run out of gas and I have driven up to about 15 miles with the light on.
Most likely, there is a small hole in the plastic float in your gas tank's sending unit. As the float fills with fuel,it sinks to the bottom of the tank and sends an "empty" signal to the gas gauge. You're gonna need a new fuel pump. Scott
I am having kinda of like that same problem. my gauge reads fine till i get to approx. 1/4 tank. from there it bounces around going up and down not reading really anything. i have no idea what could be wrong.
