Flashing low fuel level
Has anyone experienced a flashing low fuel level light? Its happened to me twice . The car will be idling while I'm washing it or whatever and the low level light will begin to flash even though there is a half tank of gas. Is this a warning of wasting gas due to idling for a long period of time or not. Anyone else experience this?

The was an instance where high sulfur fuel in Florida caused the tank senders of a lot of cars to malfunction. Maybe you should have the fuel in your car checked or have the sender checked.

The one time this happened to me I called the dealer. He told me that my gas cap was not secured. Sure enough, my wife hadn't locked it down and the cap was hanging off.

Gas cap off
Yeah H-man that was the first thing I checked but it was not the case. Next time its in for service I'll mention it and have it checked. I may have a leak in the evap system somewhere. Thanks
