I assumed all Cavis had this but you didn't say what year yours was. My Cavi (2001) has a seperate light stock on the dash with a picture of the fuel symbol when it gets low. It also has a picture of a thermometer on the same light so I assume they "recycle" the light if the car is overheating as well.

Yep. The 00-05 Canadian clusters have a specific light that comes on when you're running out of gas.

No idea on any others...

Don't depend on the check gauges light! It used to come on in my 98 2200 when I had about a gallon left, but it doesn't anymore. Trust me on this one, I got stranded on the side of the road after depending on it.

Mine comes on at about 1/8 of a tank.

My car slows down and then completely shuts off when I am out of gas. No lights, no nothing. Except after the car dies. Then it sais "Your a retard"

i can circle the whole town of riverdale on fumes..



seriously, my fuel meter is so inaccurate.



what does letting your tank almost go empty do?

Revisiting this post, I think the fuel level sender runs from 0-ohm full to 90 ohm empty.

If you could find a way to have a circuit put together that will turn on/off at a user-set level (probably at 80 ohms), there's your answer.

I don't know that much about using ohms to trip a circuit and what components to use...
