If the light comes on, I screwed up. Ford fuel pumps are notorious for failing and being very hard to replace (good luck dropping the fuel tank of a class "C".) Fuel is used to keep the pump cool, so running it low likely shortens the life by a good bit. I don't take chances, and try to keep fueling the minimum, over 1/4 tank, preferably 1/2 tank or more. Best way I've found is when on the road, look for an easy to get into gas station at 2/3 tank, and stop for earnest come 1/3 tank. I also like taking a fuel can or two on a rear cargo rack, just in case, as the added 20-40 miles can make or break things.
