Consumer Description

THE FUEL GAGE DOES NOT READ ACCURATELY. WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL, THE GAGE READS EMPTY. AFTER SOME FUEL IS USED IT SEEMS TO READ PROPERLY UNTIL AROUND HALF A TANK, AT WHICH POINT IT STARTS TO BOUNCE AROUD BETWEEN EMPTY AND THE PROPER READING. IT WILL ALSO READ EMPTY IF THE TRUCK IS PARK AND IDLING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME
