Hopefully not a dumb question.

First, here is a video on checking gauges for an E-body. Same procedure for any Mopar though. Second it is never a good practice to let the fuel level get below 1/4 tank unless on a trip where it can't be avoided. Also download a Factory Service Manual if you don't already have one. Here is a link for that also.

Thanks for the links! Helpful.
