1999 Info Right From The (Ford) Horses Mouth

November 2, 2012 about Ford F-150

When I purchased my 1999 F150 (V8, extended cab) I worked for the Ford Corp. I got it from a reliable source (dealer mechanic and then again later from Ford manufacturer rep) that they set the warning light to come on those vehicles when approx 5 gallons left in tank. I average 14 mpg with the truck so simple math.

5 gls x 14mpg = 70 miles left in tank. For safety, in my mind, I round down to an even 50 miles. Have NEVER run out, after 13 years and 220,000 miles. :)

issshhhh !!!!Je te suis pas là-dessus! On peut À LA LIMITE dire que l&auluo;rqlumesse a UN PEU cherché le trouble. Mais de là à dire qu’elle est responsable, non. Si tu te retrouves debout dans le chemin, et que le conducteur a EN MASSE le temps d’arrêter, mais qu’au lieu de ça il accélère pour être sûr de pas te manquer?
