Fuel Gage - GMC SIERRA 2002 Manual

Fuel Gage

United States
When the ignition is on, the fuel gage tells you about
how much fuel you have left in your tank.
The gage will first indicate empty before you are out of
fuel, and you should get more fuel as soon as possible.
2-114
When the fuel tank is low the Low Fuel message will
appear. See "Message Center" in the Index.
Here are some situations you may experience with
your fuel gage. None of these indicate a problem with
the fuel gage.
D
At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off before the
gage reads full.
D
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the
fuel gage indicated. For example, the gage may have
indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took a
little more or less than half the tank's capacity to fill
Canada
the tank.
D
The gage goes back to empty when you turn off
the ignition.
If you have a diesel engine, see "Fuel Gage" in the
Diesel Engine Supplement.
