if it is like mine it is a rectangle by the empty end of the gauge and apears to be on a rheostat? gets brighter as you have more likelyhood of running out, nose up is brighter on mine and about 15 miles when lit - however if I go uphill when it is that low I have starved the motor to standstill!!!!!!!! carry a can if you intend to test it and make sure you know how to manualy pump on the filter and even bleed the injectorsDid I mention I have a BLUE one

low fuel
Ratfires is spot-on. Uphill = bright light, downhill = dims or out if not too low.
I've run-out a couple of times. 20 or so miles I reckon. No big panic if you have a can as the system will bleed without disconnecting anything (unlike some!)Yes! It's still in the garage. M1ROD

Me too actually
This very week I saw it for first time (after Three years ownership)
it was low, i knew that but waiting to join the road, and parked on a fierce incline facing upwards,
theres a vertical bar of orange light on the 'E' side of the gauge
