My 94 has a low fuel warning light...soon as that sucker comes on, if I make a sharp right turn the fuel shifting will make the jeep cut out. Once I'm heading straight again she's fine.
I try and get gas soon after that because I can hear which would seem to me be the fuel pump trying to send fuel and its not getting any.
Anyways, when I fill up, I usually get about 16 gallons sometimes a little more. With my 20 gallon tank....well you can do the math. Ok, 4 gallons left and with my terrible milage that means I can go 50-70 miles before I'm walking to the gas station.
If your 96 starts cutting out on hard turns (right) then I'd say get gas pretty soon. If theres no light on soon after that happening, then I'd say you don't have one.
If I rambled I apologize, I'm hungover....damn shot girl with the free Jameson
