Default Reserve Fuel?

How many gallons of fuel are left in the tank when the "reserve fuel" warning comes on? How many for "low fuel"?

At reserve fuel, mine will say 70-75 miles left. Low Fuel is 50 miles left.

Mine usually has about 3 gallons left - sometimes more, sometimes less. I usually don't push it and put some more gas in the tank at that point.

I think the tank's capacity is some where around 18.5 to 19 gallon, because I was able to get little bit more than 18 gallon in at one time.

So when you run into low fuel or reserve fuel, go fill it up and see how much it will take and then subtract that from the tank's capacity.
