Gary, the low fuel light is activated by a low fuel switch that
reads the voltage from the fuel level senders. It is not a
separate signal. If your fuel gauges work, then the problem is
behind your dash board. The first thing I would check is the
light, the socket, and the printed circuit in the "Tell-Tale"
light panel.

I hope this helps. Its no fun to run out of gas in one of these
things.

Gary, most responses to your question will be, yes, the tanks are plumbed
together and a you drive the fuel sloshes back and forth bwteen tanks.

As I read your close call (running out of fuel) I kept waiting to read
how much gas did your tanks take from empty plus the gallon or so you
didn't use (of the 5 extra) getting to the pumps!

I once put 50 gallons in mine but the light had been on for miles. This
is a stress builder, especially if you are in some remote area (like I-10
in West Texas!
