S3an

didnt even know my escos had a low fuel light, have they

Rippers

Yes mate they do, next time you switch your ignition on look for the light, it will flash up for a sec then go out

rapidcossie

mine came on the other day just after it went below the red.shouldnt have let it get that low.whoops

S3an

where is this light then? honestly never seen one

Cozzie Bhoy

Its on the bottom right of the dash display, You won't see it unless its lit up. Turn on your ignition without starting the car and it should light up for a second if not the bulb is gone. Mine don't come on till the needle is a quarter of an inch below the red!! I'll have to change the set up in the tank i think.

Ive never let mine come on either so wouldnt know mate. Ive always thought it was bad to let it run low, especially on older cars.

Ok thats cool thanks guys!

The light comes on when there is 8 litres of petrol left (the reserve) according to the Cosworth handbook.

I just wanted to know as I have no Fuel gauge anymore but I do have the petrol light, which is good so I can calibrate the stack fuel level now.. just got to wait untill it come on now

8L of fuel, assuming the float is not submerged and works

I always leave my tank as empty as I can when I park my escos up, so if it get stolen at least they won't get very far

S3an

ive found that in between half and quarter tank if your conering very hard on full chat it starts to backfire, been told its because of the pumps position in the tank. wouldny worry about leaving as little as possible in the tank when leaving it parked up. lets face it if its half full they aint gonna get far anyway

It's supposed to come on at 5 or 8 litres - I can't remember which. All I try and remember is to count down the miles from 25 once its lit and find a petrol station before I reach zero!
