Gas Gauge??? - 7/29/2008 2:54:57 PM    f_150ryan   Posts: 2 Joined: 7/29/2008 Status: offline I think my gas gauge is messed up... I got the car 2wks ago and it was on E (way below the line..... It only took 15.3 gallons to fill up. The book says its a 17.1 gallon tank.. Also My low fuel light didnt come on until the needle was on the letter E.   Is there any way to diagnos the gauge or something????

Since the gasoline cools & lubricates the fuel pump, you REALLY dont want to let the tank go completely empty anyway. _____________________________ '03 Accord & '07 Civic '01 Saab 9³ & '05 9²x (in reply to f_150ryan) Post #: 4
