Default Faulty fuel gauge ?

hey guys how much fuel would you normally have in your tank when the fuel light comes on ?
mine just came on but when i went to fill it i only put 50 litres in.... would that be about right ?
its the best fuel usage i have had in ages i got 290 kms but guessing there is still atleast 20 litres in there so maybe another 100 kms worth. does this seeem right ?

mine comes on when ever it wants too. iv filled up driven 10 mins to have it tell me that it is empty. you'll just have to learn how far you can get out of a tank the hard way and when u do carry a 20L jerry can so you can get back to the servo again

Mine acts pretty much the same way. I have driven over 100 kms with the light on to test one day, but then chicken out and filled with it 70.9 litres.
