As the title suggests, id like to disable the fuel low warning. For all intensive purposes the reason i want to do this is because :

-the fuel guage is factory flawed, as we all know.
-i can actually tell when i need fuel, all i have to do is look at the fuel needle. I dont need an alarm to remind me
-i put $20 fuel in the other day on near empty tank, despite having been fleeced at the service station, i rounded 2 corners and the low fuel alarm starts flashing.. FFS

its annoying

I won't allow my fuel tank to drop below 1/4 because if you go below that then the pump will start sucking up the crap if there is any in the tank to the engine

Im sure the fuel pumps really dont like running dry too. the fuel cool the pump and if you run dry the pump over heats and seizes.

Is that right? I cant remember what car it was,im sure it was a commodore though.

My VZ fuel guage is quite accurate and Ive never run out of fuel.

Crap in the tank is a thing of the past when you have plastic fuel tanks and decent filtration at servo pumps. Its a moot point anyway as the pump draws from the bottom of the tank regardless of fuel level.

It isnt good to run a fuel pump dry, no.
