As I've said in previous posts, I'm new to turbo DSMs. I just got my GSX saturday and I'm on 1/4th of a tank of gas and my low fuel light is on. It doesnt stay on...but for like, 5-10 minutes, then it fades out. I'm just wondering if this is normal or if maybe I might have a bad fuel guage...I'm kinda worried about running out of gas and not knowing it.
 
There is a point below 1/4 were the low fuel light will come on if your fuel level is low and you're on an uphill slope. Once you get back to level ground, it'll turn off as the gas in the tank levels out again. Of course, if you are really low, the light will be constantly lit. You still have a lot of fuel left when it's showing 1/4. Until it's touching E, I wouldn't worry about running out, but it's not a good idea to make it a habit of running it that low.
