Default Re: does "empty" on the fuel gauge mean empty

When the gauge on my XC reads empty I have about 40-50% of a tank left (didn't bother adjusting the repro fuel sender). A bit low on cash one week I decided to risk it and drove to work for 3 days (I was going to fill up on the afternoon of the 3rd day), no sign of the car being low on fuel until I hit a steep hill and the car stopped completely on the 3rd day.

I usually keep the tank full enough so I can tell what I've got on the gauge - requires me to fill up a couple of times a week which is the only downside. I like knowing for sure that I have enough rather than hopefully having enough, running out out fuel in the right lane of a busy main road wasn't fun.
