How many littres/gallons can be filled in fuel tank?

When should Empty Fuel Tank Lamp turn on?
I filled full tank, used about 13.4 gallons and that lamp didn't turn on.

How to check it? Any body have/had this problem?

14.5 gallons is the size of the tank

The empty fuel tank light comes on when you have a gallon or less of fuel in your tank. It's done that to me a couple of times.

is there any way to check it?

1 gallon is very small, you can go on it only about 25-30 miles.

I thought there should be 2 or more gallons for light to be on.

yes, the gas tank on the Tib is 14.5 standard gallons and 12.1 imperial. My personal findings are, I have put 14.5 gallons in my tank when I have run it extreamly dry (to where the car would not accelerate due to fuel starvation) but I also always get over 30mpg. Last weekend I drove almost 900 miles up to Boston, then almost New Hampshire.. then back down to Atlantic City. Staying at a constant 70mph, I got just under 34 miles to the gallon on both tanks. And yes, I only filled the car up twice. Once before I left and once before I came back. 450 miles for both fill ups.

AS soon as my "Low Fuel" light turns on, I fill my tank at the top.... It can take 15.8 gallons.... weird.... but true... that cost me $40 bucks...

I have found that if I fill up right when my fuel light starts coming on, the car will take 12.5 US gallons. So, about 2 gallons left i the tank.

ok hmmmm.... either my gas gauge is phucked up or i have a way smaller tank than you guys....

lowest i ever ran the tank down filled back up with a little over 10 gal... and that was WAY low. i has just assumed it was like a 10-11 gallon tank and my gas light was broken... but it sounds more like my gauge is broken. Im definately gunna have to look into that...

generally I have found that I am on empty for a while before the light comes on.

NO way there are Tibs with different size tanks. Your light must be regulated to light on earlier than most of us, that's all.
