yeah, it scares me too, it could be anything, even though you know your almost out of gas.

You should not run your car that low on gas. If it is hot outside,
90 plus your electric fuel pump is not getting cooled by the gas
in the tank. Many cars have this problem, I assume Linclon puts
the fuel pump in the bottom of the gas tank also.

I SECOND THAT!!! You will be replacing your fuel pump soon if you keep doing that. When the fuel pump goes less than a 1/4 on the tank, the pump is not being cooled and it makes the pump get hot and run harder. STOP DOING THAT TO YOUR CAR!!!

i drive it alot untill it gets doen to 50 miles left in tha tank, would that cause my car not to start after driving a while?

Just the other day mine did the beep noise and I'm all freaking out like something broke then I look at the message center just says Low Fuel.

I don't even know if my beeper works as I never run my tank below a quarter.
