Arrow Everyone Please Verify Something For Me On Your Car!!!

I am curious, everyone who reads this, go out to your car and turn the ignition to the II position where all the lights comes on, dont start it but to the run position and tell me if the low fuel indicator light comes on and then goes off? I am asking because I thought I used to have one comes on when I first started the car then it would go off, but now when I start the car or have it in the fun position, no indicator light comes on. No it isnt the bulb because the indicator light does seem to come on when I am low on fuel.

I was just curious. I swear that usually when you first turn your car to the run position, I have seen the light come on for a few seconds to indicate low fuel, then go off as it rises, but if all of your cars are like that, then I guess I am ok.

So when you do turn it to the run position, it does come on for a few seconds?

I have a full tank right now, but usually when you first turn to the run position, your low fuel light shows for a few sec cause your gauge starts on low then it goes off and the gauge goes to your actual level.
