Low-Fuel Light Burnt Out?

[SoCal-NSX]

I'm not sure that it's burnt out since I haven't ...completely...run out of gas but it doesn't light up when I turn on the ignition. Can someone check and see if there's turns on with the other dummy-lights like engine, SRS, etc?

How low do you have to be on fuel to get it to come on? Previous Acura's I had came on around 1/8 tank.

Seems strange that every other bulb on the car is working except that one.

Thanks,
Dave

You have to have only about 2.7 gallons left before the light comes on. The needle is slightly below "E" at that point. If you are filling your tank and it takes less than 16 gallons, the light should not have come on.

When you turn the ignition on the fuel light does not light up with the rest of the lights.

Thanks Guys. My best guess then is that I wasn't low enough. Much appreciated.

You were right nsxtasy! Light came on today on the way to the gas-station and it took about 15.6 gallons.

Thanks all,
Dave
