Full Tank

[olerebel]

I filled up with gas 3 days ago, did a huge a mount of driving, and the fuel gage says I am still full. What could be the problem?

I don't know if this would matter but when filling up the gauge never goes all the way up, just a hair under full.

stuck sender in the tank? how many miles did you drive?

There is an article in the tech section about how to make the gauges work more accurately. Could be the sender but could also be dirty contacts for the gauges or a bad ground on the gauges.

I've driven a good 90 miles so far. I took a 800 mile trip a few days earlier and it worked fine.

Hi, pull your sending unit under the rear hatch to see if the float inside the tube is hung up. Pull your hatch carpet and then the mat and you will see your sending unit and pull it. I don't think that there is voltage going back there with the key off but you may want to check first with a volt meter before you take out the sending unit. Be carefull removing it as it is a tight fit and you may bend the aluminum tube!

don't worry about it. 90 miles doesn't show up on mine either. you've probably only used about 3 gallons. let it go another 60 or so and let us know if it still doesn't move.
