## Discrepancy

AFTER A NORMAL TAKEOFF FROM KCRQ HEADED TO KLAS, CREW NOTICED A LEFT SIDE “FUEL LOW LEVEL” CAUTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER CLIMBING. THE CREW JUST HAD FUEL IN THE PLANE BEFORE TAKEOFF AND THE FUEL GAUGES READ NORMAL. CREW FOLLOWED THE CHECK LIST PROCEDURES FOR “FUEL LOW LEVEL” BUT THE CAUTION LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. CREW INFORMED ATC THAT AIRCRAFT NEEDED TO RETURN AS A PRECAUTION.
