Today on my drive home from work my low fuel light started flashing for some reason. Any thoughts? I have a half a tank of gas for sure before you say anything! I killed the car and restarted it and it stopped doing it.

Thanks!

I've had this happen to me a couple of times.

 

Do you know why it does it?

 

If you try to squeeze more gas in after the pump clicks off the first time it causes the gas to overflow into the evap tube and will make the light flash. I use to try to squeeze more in to top it off and when it got to about a half tank mine use to flash. It's never done it again sense I stopped filling after the pump stops the first time.

 

I'm not sure why it's done that. It's only happen ~2X in over 6 years of ownership. I never top off mine after it the pump stops.

 

whewww LOL thanks for your guys input I thought something was wrong with my baby! you guys are a life saver!

 

Yeah that makes perfect sense, mine is sitting a little under a half of a tank, I guess I was just trying to figure out if it was something bad or not. That is really odd that the system causes the light to flash for that!

 

My low fuel light start flashing randomly and it turns ON the check engine light . Look like this happen when is little less then half a tank full .
Anyone had this problem ? Any ideas ? Plus it takes me 20 min to fill up the tank same thing makes the gas pump to go off it may be the Pressure Release Valve ... But is been like this for 2 years and i never had any problems so i dent bother .
Last week cost me $ 800 to change the Lock Cylinder Housing and now this .........
PLEASE HELP... Moniq

 

Unless I'm on a trip or I know that I will use it up pretty quick I never put more 1/2 a tank in at a time. I like the way it handles with lower fuel levels.
