10 Litres would be about what mine has left when the light first comes on.

Does a fuel light come on in a Brumby?

i spose it depends on what type of dash you have??

I think the digital dash has a low fuel light , the normal one dosn't.

10 litres roughly - Lasts around 100 - 120kms depending your driving style.

Once run out of fuel at 620kms at 59.5 litres used but lucky fuel station was down the road and managed to get to the pump!.

60L tank, fuel light is supposed to come on at 8L but the fuel senders inthese cars tend to get out of wack with age..

My guage is all over the place, btu the fuel light still comes on accurately at 8L left

Yeah over the age the gauges becomes un-reliable, only best way is to spend over $400 under $500 for brande new AWD (Dual sensors) fuel sensors (not worth getting 2nd hand ones because it wont last much longer), I just reset the ODO and drive on until the light comes on, the fuel light is pretty accurate, once it comes on, I know i have approx 50-70 kms before I should fill up before running dry.... I've run dry once so far, and running out of fuel before servo... so yeah...

Just get to know your car, work out how many kms it lasts... so on..
