My '96 doesn't have an idiot light either. What's worse is that
Dodge appears to use the same sender for the 17 gallon and the 21 gallon
tank, so my tank reads empty when I still have 4 gallons left... Its
a real pain to guess where my fuel is going to run out, so when I
fill up, I'm usually putting 17 gallons in. Sure, the larger tank
gives me a little more leeway, but as far as stretching the time between
refills, I might as well have a 17 gallon tank...
