Ford 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: Needle On Gas Gauge Only Goes Up To About 3/4 Mark When Filled Up

So the last 3 or 4 times I have filled up my truck the needle on the gas gauge only goes up to about the 3/4 mark. What this could be? And how I could fix it?

Camry :: 2006 Toyota - Sloshing Noise From Fully Filled Fuel Tank When Stop The Car

When I stop the car, sloshing noise come from back of 2006 Toyota Camry after filling full tank of gas. Tried couple times, I can still hear the noise feels like liquid sloshing noise coming from fuel tank. Even after I parked the car, tried to push the back side of my 2006 Toyota Camry, sounds like the fuel is sloshing from the tank. Is it normal? I never heard about this before, maybe I didn't notice. It was not loud but audible.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Fuel Gauge Doesn't Go Past Half Tank And Won't Start

So my truck felt gutless somtimes, wouldn't start Every couple days , and Fuel gauge stops at half tank won't show full, so I went n bought a new fuel pump..... Well shoot nothing changed . I guess my next move is pull the dash off n fix gauge? It used to be a reliable truck . Now Im not comfortable to let wife drive it . I also pulled the chip to see if that had to do with not starting, also theft light blinks normal. I'm going to get some connector grease n redo all of my wires to c if there's just connection issues.

Camry :: 2011 V6 - Gas Smell After Tank Filled Up

I thought nothing of this before and just chalked it up to being at a gas station and the cold weather. But this is my 3rd fillup with this car and every single time i've smelled gas.

i just filled up my tank tonight and there was a gas smell, which went away after a couple of miles driving. Should i be worried? I mean smelling gas is never a good thing. Car is 2011 camry v6, 36k miles on it.

some have said its overfilling of gas, but i let off once it clicks and do not keep filling. Bought it used so not sure if previous owner liked to "top" it off.

is there anything i can check, i.e. fuel lines under car seats?

Camry :: At What Mark Dipstick Represents Overfilled Tank?

A friend of mine who also owns a 4 cylinder 2000 Camry just recently changed the oil and oil filter in his car is fretting that he overfilled with new oil because he discovered he surpassed the full line on the dipstick by 3/16 of an inch. I told him the 3/16 of an inch past the full mark is not going to make his engine blow up and to not worry about it. But being extremely anal about these kinds of things he is insistent that he remove that 3/16 of an inch of extra oil.

Another of our friends (who is a certified mechanic) of many years told him that cars are somewhat designed to be idiot proof and going slightly past the full mark is not going to destroy the engine.

Phaeton :: Fuel Gauge Only Goes To Last Small Mark Before Full Line

The last two fill-ups I have noticed the fule gauge only goes to the last small mark before the "full" line. I haven't hit any thing under the car. It can be slow to fill but I know it's full.....like really full, to the small filler hole full . Is there a way to reset the fuel gauge limits with a Vag-Com?

Golf V R32 :: Fuel Gauge Stops At About Mark Half Way Between 3/4s And Full

Over the past approx 3 weeks Ive noticed that my gas gauge stops at about the mark half way between 3/4s and full now. Previously when I would fill the tank it would go about 1 click beyond full. Today,with the needle damn near on empty I filled up and it only took 9.13 gallons. During this same time span I am only avg approx 17mpg where prior i was getting over 23/24 mpg.

F Series :: 1989 F150 - Dual Tank Stalls And Getting No Fuel

I have a 89 F150 4x4 lariat with the 302 8cyl and dual gas tanks. I was driving to work and the truck died. I have spark and enough juice to turn it over so I must be getting no fuel. When I turn the key to the on position I do not hear the fuel pump whine as it primes, it's dead silent. I'm assuming the fuel pump is dead.

Are there any fuses to check? I did check the switch that goes off when in an impact and it was not tripped off so it's not the problem.

My hayes manual (which i find is wrong ALOT) says that 87-89 f150's have a single fuel pump that is external to the tanks and found along the left frame rail? Can anyone confirm? Someone told me they thought it might have 2 pumps but I switched tanks and the truck still didn't start (or make a fuel pump sound) so unless the planets aligned and BOTH pumps blew simultaneously I would assume there's only 1 pump.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Low Fuel Light Came On While Turning And Fuel Gauge Is Well Below Empty With Half Tank

I have a 2004 F150 XLT 5.4 L 79,000 miles. Yesterday i was driving home turned a corner and the low fuel light came on and the fuel gauge is well below empty. I had approx 1/2 tank of fuel when it happened. I have since filled tank all the way but the gauge will not move and low fuel light stays on. Everything else is working fine! I have never run the truck low enough on fuel to make the dummy light come on.....

Golf V R32 :: Fuel Gauge Bounce With 1/4 Of Tank

I have about 45,000 miles in my R and all of the sudden the fuel gauge is doing funny things. It seems that when i have about 1/4 of a tank of fuel left, the gauge will bounce around from almost empty to 1/4 on perfectly flat ground. Example i get out of the car with 1/4 of tank left and 60 miles till empty.

When I come out a few hrs later. It shows 20 miles, refuel and the gauge bounces. Yesterday it did it just below 1/2 a tank. The R is going to see my local friendly Vw dealer to see if they can figure it out. A few months ago had the 40K service done and I don't think this had anything to do with it.

Prius (Gen 2) :: 2008 Fuel Gauge Broken - New Gas Tank?

As of recently, my 2008 Prius fuel gauge shows only 1 flashing bar unless the fuel level is more than half-full.

I just got a quote from the dealer; they said it will cost me $ 900 + to replace the whole fuel tank, as fuel gauge is not a replaceable part. Yap, the whole gas tank needs to be replaced for fuel sender!

Well, I find this hard to believe, but i guess it is possible that they have built everything together as one big replaceable unit.

BTW, if this is true then Toyota is not making environmentally friendly vehicles, when we have to throw away perfectly good gas tank and other parts within in order to replace a moving part that is most likely to fail.

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Fuel Gauge Dropped To Empty While There Was 3/4 Of A Tank

I have a 2004 Hyundai accent hatchback with 225000km. The first time I drove it for over an hour, 1 trip no stops, the fuel gauge dropped to empty while there was 3/4 of a tank. The 2nd time I drove over an 1 the fuel gauge dropped again and the gas light came on (again around 3/4 of a tank). My mechanic said until it does it consistently he can't diagnose so I let it go.

More recently, driving it to and from work 5 days, plus some extra city driving, I used 1/4 tank the full week. Today I picked up 4 winter tires and bringing them home (approximately the same distance as my work) I used 1/4 tank right there. I understand it is weighed down, but could it really be that much? What is causing the fuel jumps and gauge jumps? I've already had the float replaced.

Golf V R32 :: Fuel Gauge Reads Empty But Tank Is Full?

Full tank and the gauge reads empty. Has happened to me a few times. Occurs after a fillup and disappears after the car is left to sit for a while off. I would hate for this to happen on a long drive. Dealer hasn't been able to duplicate the issue. Am wondering if this might be related to the hiccup in some way. Also, am wondering if this is a fuse issue.

SC/SL/SW :: 2001 SL2 Not Starting And Fuel Gauge Reads Empty With More Than Half Tank Of Gas

My 01 sl2 wont start and the gauge says that the car is empty (before this problem, everything was working fine). I know that I have more than a half tank of gas, the car continuously turns over but wont start. I replaced the fuel pump and still it wont start (not to mention that the tank was more than half full at the time). I checked all the fuses and relays and everything seems fine. I am not even getting gas pumped to the filter.
