No, you should ride with the tap set on reserve and when the fuel level reaches the reserve the mileage readout will flash alternate with 'FUEL'. So there is no actual indicator of what's in the tank.

I think theres a lot more room to fit everything in. ive emptied the tank now to fit a fast flow tap so I will check it as I refill and see what happens too the gauges

all the bars light up white, when you get down to the last bar the fuel light should come on, then the last bar will flash
