On my '89 (non-turbo) the sender (inside the tank) doesn't seem to go into the deepest part of the tank. The fuel pump is down there... So, once the gauge thinks its empty, there's still some gas in the bottom.
As an acedemic exercise, you could carry around a can full of gas & run your tank dry. On the other hand that's probably hard on the pump.
I think the gauge and the warning lamp are on separate circuits. If that's the case, the loose connection (Anders) would mess up the gauge but not the warning lamp.
I've put 16 gallons in my tank on occasion, so it must be that big. (It didn't pour out on the ground, either.)
