Low Fuel
These are Fuel, Low Fuel and Fuel Sensor Indicator symbols. They are often seen in or near a vehicle’s fuel gauge. The symbols may also be illuminated when the fuel is low, or a smaller light may illuminate near this symbol when the fuel is low. The oval symbol will only be illuminated when the fuel is low.

The first symbol is a simple image of gas pump and filler hose in yellow/amber. If an arrow is present, it points to the side of the vehicle used to refill the tank. That is, the side the gas cap is on. The second symbol is a simple oval, also in yellow/amber.
This symbol is a Fuel Sensor Fault Indicator. It indicates a failure of the sensor and that the level shown on the fuel gauge cannot be relied upon. It is identical to the fuel indicator, except that an exclamation point is added to one side.
This final version adds the letter and number H2 below the image of the pump. H2 stands for hydrogen and the symbol will be seen only in vehicles powered by the gas, and only when the fuel level drops.
