You can probably turn off the beeps. I filled up my tank with gas cans the other day so I could get fresh gas for my generator for hurricane season. I have 6 of those 5-gallon cans. I thought 10 gallons would do it, but I put two whole 5-gallon cans and parts of several others until the gas level was about to overflow. I then set the tank level at 31 gallons, but I'm sure that the tank holds more than that, being polypropylene and "stretchy". I can run my tank down to empty and the warning light comes on... with a beep... but then I only can add about 27 gallons or so until the pump shuts off. I want to see how this gauge keeps up with the fuel level. It's amazing all of the gauge readouts that you can have or check with this thing. I used to nearly run out of gas a lot in our Ford Aerostar vans when traveling because I would wait too long or go too far looking for a better gas price. Now I have GasBuddy on my smartphone. I've been putting low-priced stations and rest areas in my GPS for years for future use.
One time I really waited too long and the van was sputtering and quitting. I had to sway it side to side to get some gas to the pickup level... that and coast some. I just barely got to a station as the engine quit in that instance. Wifey wasn't happy!
I know now that my 2005 Savana still has almost 4 gallons at "empty" with the fuel light on... 50 miles or so... maybe... to go.
