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?

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.

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...

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.
