...the car was low on fuel, enough to pop on the Low Fuel light but there should have been a reserve of 3 to 4 gallons.
Problem solved! At the last gas fill-up, I pumped more gas into the car than usual. I discovered that when the Low Fuel light came on, the car only had 1 to 2 gallons left in the tank, not the 3 to 4. The tank float level had changed! When I had gone around the corner with Low Fuel light on, that 1 to 2 gallons had sloshed to one side of the tank, and there was nothing for the fuel pick-up to suck up. When I had stopped and the car restarted, the gas had leveled out for the fuel pick-up to get to the 1 to 2 gallons. In other words, when that Low Fuel light comes on now, I'd really better get some gas into the car and fast!
Truly,
