Default 1995 Honda Passport -- Low Fuel Light Constantly On

What would cause my low fuel light to remain on, even after filling the
tank?

TIA

Yeah. Gague works fine. Reads the gas levels all the way down to
empty. When I fill the tank, it goes back to full. The light remains on
all the time, at this point, that's all.

Dented gas tank, or corroded grounding somewhere? Does the guage work at
all?

does the level read low too? if so, it could be a rear impact bending a
baffle inside the tank holding the float still. jacking the vehicle up
by the tank can cause the same problem too.

if the level reads ok independent of the low light, it might be a wiring
problem. electrical problems on the level are either needle hard up for
open circuit, or off the bottom for closed circuit.

Maybe it's LOW octane fuel...

Sorry... couldn't resist.
