What is the low fuel sign?
In most new and used models, the “Low Fuel” light signal is either designated by flashing text or a symbol of a gas pump. There are sensors in your tank that let your electronics know when you’re running out of gas, and the light will start flashing when you’re down to either a gallon or 1.5 gallons of fuel left.
What happens when the fuel pump goes out on a Chevy Silverado?
