The fuel warning light on a Sea-Doo 2012 Series jet ski may be on even when the tank is full if there is a malfunction in the fuel level sensor or electrical system. The light is designed to turn on when approximately 25% or less of the fuel tank remains (about 14L or 3.7 US gal.), so if it activates with a full tank, the sensor may be faulty or giving incorrect readings.
