Last week, I had to empty out the gas tank using the DMC fuel pump after fuel light came on. I was able to pump out approx 0.8 gallon.
I installed mine right out of the box. Low fuel light comes on with approx. 2.5 gal left.
Since mine was installed, Low Fuel light came on 1 time, (I pushed it), and put 12.1 gals. in the tank.
I'd rather mine did come on around 2-2.5 gals remaining.
At least it's better than my old Stock one. It started flickering around 2/3 tank, (Going up my driveway, quick accelerations), and was on continuously just below 1/2 tank.

Yeah, I put in about 11.5ish gallons this morning, so that sounds about right. I gotta say, I love seeing the gas gauge all the way at full! Only seen it twice now since I've owned the car.

Ah... You need to do it over... you did not put the Fuel pump clamp on right... Did you see how the fuel pump lifted up and you said you had to tighten... The clamp NEEDS to go around the outer White flange of the pump... Then it will be lower, and the closing plastic will fit, without having to put you foot on it...

A local owner had this happen and was complaining of poor fit and a constant fuel smell. Putting the clamp back on correctly fixed both of those issues.
Edit: Actually I forgot Ryan posted about that, right in this very thread. See post #83 (http://dmctalk.org/showthread.php?38...ll=1#post91010) with Dave S' followup right after it.
Here is how it should look

Yep, I fell into the same trap. I even called Dave Swingle after seeing the post above and still didn't learn...then I made a video on top of that (which I have since deleted, have to re-do)......hopefully it helped raise awareness.....
I read the instructions 3 times and didn't get it. Hopefully for future purchasers, DMC adds a detailed photo and instructions on the clamp install....
Back in I go....:blush:
