Anyone with any info on how the level lights on a sprint system come to their conclusions? The 4th green takes about 40 kays to go out,, so the lights are not linear??

also, will the system go back to pulp automatically after the red light? and/or should I switch the system off?
theres a musical warning?? maybe??

Seriously, lpg gauges are usually only accurate to the nearest 1/4 tank. When they run out, you notice. Only the injection systems switch over when they run out, and that is based on pressure, not level.

will the lpg lights tell me when it switches over?

in other words can I run the car and only let the original low fuel dash light concern me??:angel:

Dunno mate, is it an injection system? You haven't said.:D Basically don't run out of petrol, and run the gas until it's all gone. If it's injection itwill change over automatically, probably beep to tell you its now on petrol. Then you press to kill the beeper and run on petrol until you get more gas.

The guage will be all over the place.What i do is reset the trip meter every fill up,then you will know how far you have to go before the next fill up.If it runs out you will have to change over to fuel,push the button,then it will keep going.I presume it is not gas injection system.

As someone has said if it is an injection system,it will automatically change to fuel & continue to beep to warn you,& you will have to switch it to fuel to stop the beeping.

Not necesarily. I usually feel mine change back but there is no audible alarm. I need to look at the fuel gauge to see the red and blue LEDs (not the fuel level LEDs) alternately flashing.

You have clearly not experienced Victorias speed cameras.

Ah,your audible alarm may be broken......;)





On a serious note,i should have said it MAY beep.There are no doubt many different systems around that work differently from each other.
