gas gauge
Fellow Rattler owners, I have noticed that the gas gauge on mine gets to empty pretty quick and bounces in an out for a while.
How many miles have you guys pushed it after it blinks no more bars. I drove it 5 miles the other day like that because I couldn't find a gas station. I am just wondering so I can get comfortable when it is like that.

Mine does that too. I think i drove like 6 or 7 miles with it blinking. I was pulling a "kramer" (for all you seinfeld fans) and drove until it ran out of gas. I ended up pushing that thing like a mile to a gas station....ha

Well the thing is, the stupid fuel level sensor is obviously a floating one, since the fuel levels fluctuate between uneven inclines or while taking off.
I tend to look down to check the fuel every stop light if I can, and I fill up right when the last bar is out. Fill ups at this point are less than a gallon, so I suppose there's quite a bit of reserves at zero bars.

gas gauge
Hello,
This is bothering me too. Yesterday I took the gas cap off and, with a long screw driver movved the float all the way to the bottom and let it go back up a few times and afetr that it worked fine.
