fuel tank capacity PONTIAC GRAND AM 1998 Owners Manual

Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel you
have left, when the ignition
is on. When the indicator
nears EMPTY (E), you still
have a little fuel left, but
~ you should get more soon.
Here are four things that some owners ask about. None
of these show a problem with your fuel gage:
0
0
0
An amber light will come on below the gage when the
fuel
tank is near EMPTY (E).
0
At the service station, the gas pump shuts off before
the gage reads FULL (F).
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the
gage indicated. For example, the gage may have
indicated the tank was half full, but
it actually took a
little more
or less than half the tank’s capacity to fill
the tank.
The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or
speed up.
The gage doesn’t go back to EMPTY
(E) when you
turn off the ignition.
