Ok experts, I had my CJ out yesterday and since gas was getting low, I decided to (within sight of the airport) test my fuel low lights.



Both tanks were at/below the posted 10-liter limit, yet only my R tank red lamp illuminated.

L tank's lamp stayed out.

Other than change the bulb (which didn't fix it), I've not yet done any trouble shooting.

Is there a lot of fluctuation on sensitivity in these indicators?



Is there a typical pitfall to check first? My first thought is - besides never let the fuel get so low - is to clean all connections/grounds.

Just curious, I see my L lamp has a rotating shutter, which the R lamp apparently does not.  I presume this is by design for night ops? 

Btw, has anyone successfully run a CJ w/ one tank empty? I'd rather ask than try.

Thanks all-

Justin
