    2003 Honda Accord Low Fuel Indicator Light
    I am trying to find out how much fuel remains in my 2003 Honda Accord when the low fuel indicator light comes on? I cannot find this information in my owner's manual. Thank you!

    You can run your own test. I'm sure you know your gas tank's capacity. Next time the fuel light comes on, fill up and subtract the amount of gas used at the pump from the gas tank's capacity. My guess would be 1 gallon.

    Note: This is a good way to suck up water and dirt in the bottom of the tank. If you do this frequently, it would be a good idea to change the fuel filter often. Otherwise, the fuel pump can burnout prematurely.

    My wife plays this game of living on the edge. When I replaced the fuel filter last time, a white milky solution came out. +@&$$$$$$$$$$

    O.k... This should clear all the mystery up since I ran out of gas yesterday! I drove 60 miles once my indicator light came on (hwy and city) then ran completely out. Filled up a gas can with 2.2 gallons of gas then drove to the gas station (only 2 miles) and filled up. The tank held 13.8 gallons of gas before the pump started. I probably could have pumped in another gallon if I really wanted to top it off so it is simple math=2.2+13.8+1=17 gallons which is the fuel capacity of honda accords. To be safe, I would say that when the indicator first comes on but does not stay steady you have 3 gallons of fuel. Once it stays on you are down to about 2 gallons. As soon as the light comes on I would say, depending on highway/city you can drive at least 60 miles, after that you are pushing it!
