Fuel Gauge Question

I have a 2003 Super Cab XLT 4.0L. Once the check gauge lit comes on how many miles do you generally have till your tank is completely empty?

well u have a 19.5 gallon tank, and the reserve tank is ABOUT 3 gallons. it comes on at random points around 2-4 gallons left based on angle of truck in my experience. i woulnt go more than 35 miles or so when it comes on and stays on.
