Mine doesn't work....... 
I need to do the check outlined in the manual and see where the problem is. Evidently that indicator lamp is a LED or something, as there is no provision for bulb replacement.

Oh... got better info... (2 gallons)
how much gas you have in your tank is different than how much you can actually use. you might have 3.5 gallons but only be able to use 1.5 gallons more of that. the light comes on when the little round sensor is not immersed in fuel anymore. there could be more gas in the tank but it might not make its way into the fuel tray that prevents starvation.
