We have a 100 series petrol. When we still had the factory small sub tank, I found that we had only 30 / 40 kms when the light went on.
For the main tank I work on about 60 kms.
This gives me a fairly good safety margin on the main tank.
In terms of drawing betwen the sub and main, when we first had the long range tank fitted to replace the small sub the float or whatever
was not adjusted properly and the low fuel light never went on.
When we did run out of fuel in the sub tank, we would stop unless you hit the switch to send it to the original main tank very quickly.
Therefore as far as i am concerned, each tank is treated separately.

(PS we have had the float adjusted now so I have some warning when the fuel will run out (although this is still 180kms away)
