REFLECTOR: Low Fuel Warning Sensor - Header Tank

[Chris Barber]

I too have had problems with my factory low fuel switch. I am interested in a new one or alternative. However, I leave for Italy on Monday for ten days, Rome, Florence and then to visit my brother in Lucca (Tuscany), so the switch will have to wait. :-)

I hope to continue some phase one testing on Sunday.
