There is a difference between how much fuel is left in the tank and how much usable fuel is left in the tank.
I changed the fuel pump in my '03 E-450. I ran the tank down as low as I dared - the light was on for a long time. I was sure it was very close to empty.
I dropped the fuel tank and siphoned another 6 gallons out.
I put the empty tank back in place (new fuel pump) and poured 5+ gallons in before anything registered on the fuel gauge.
I still have no idea how much usable fuel was in the tank.
