FYI ITR OASIS burner can run you dry!

if I remember correctly, reserve is 20 gallons on my 100 gallon tank

I've never put more than 85 gallons in my tank and driven over 100 miles with the low fuel light on. I don't think our gauges are that accurate.

Side note: I remember the first time the low fuel light came on on my previous DP. I was on I-20 in Mississippi and 30 miles to the nearest diesel fuel stop. I panicked but made it and I still remember putting 75 gallons in the tank.

Neal you got to love the adventure of the RV life. Well some times.

So true, was going to respond similarly to @Joe Hogan's garage situation. Never a dull moment - never!

I have a plan! Wearing AirPods with music playing for the segment from here to the fuel stop. I am not listening to that dinging sound for an hour which wears out my sphincter muscles!

 

[Neal]

Soooo, made it. Never want to do this again. I figured it would be fun to count the dings (low fuel alerts) and that ended at 20 as it dings more in turns and going downhill, and trying to navigate out of Charlotte, the counting stopped. Thankfully I wasn't chewing gum! What we don't know is how much fuel is actually usable in these tanks. My tank holds 100 gals, I don't know how much of that I can rely on. But it's good to learn and know if you're in a pickle...but no thanks. 86 gals put on today.

I agree...you always wonder how much is usable. We all know it isn't 100.... But maybe 95? Probably not. Maybe 90 is the limit? I guess it also depends on who put in the fuel tube in and where it is placed...

I don't want to know how low I can get because that would mean having all the problems re priming it and getting it running again. I am not shure a 5 gal can would do it.
Neal how much did you save with your TSD card?
