    Low Fuel Light on S550

    I find it very annoying on how early the fuel light comes on, I'm assuming all 550's are the same and it's not just a Shelby thing but comes on just before 1/4 tank which seems excessive.. I mean the 350 goes through gas quick, no question, I'm not complaining about that... just how long the light stays on the dash for, I'd rather not fill up everytime it gets close to 1/4 but the light drives me nuts, is there anyway to disable it?

    I know most people will say you should fill up at a quarter anyways but...

    I believe the tanks are saddle style all the way from 05 up which means at a 1/4 your actually at an 1/8" in each n should have long since put fuel in.

    go fill when light comes on and see how much you get in.

    do the math
    already done

    60L Tank

    Fill up 43L

    Leaves 17L

    = 28% (1/3) ish little less (if I'm doing this correct?)

    I've only done this once though but the results should be very similar each time with in just a few either way assuming gas station is somewhat close/similar distance each time...



    Probably not going to do the Black Tape mod but thank you lol


    Was just curious... dunno

    Weird looking gas tank.
    Never saw one like that before.

    I drive old junk,that's probably why.

    I don't believe it is fuel level based on the new cars, but when the computer thinks it is 80 or so km to empty.

    Case in point on some of the cars after a track day the light will turn on at just under half a tank. The rest of the time it is when the car is just under 1/4 tank.
