Consumer Description

FUEL GAUGE READS HALF FULL AND IT IS EMPTY. I HAVE PUT IN 6 FUEL SENDING UNITS AND IT WILL LAST 6 TO 9 MONTHS AND THE GAUGE WILL SLOWLY START TO SHOW FUEL IN TANK AND IT IS EMPTY. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL DIESELS. LAST TIME I WAS RAN OUT OF FUEL IN THE FAST LANE OF I-75 IN FLORIDA. CARS WOUND UP IN THE MEDIAN AND SHOULDER CAUSE MY TRUCK WAS DEAD IN THE FAST LANE. GAUGE READ A LITTLE OVER HALF A TANK OF FUEL. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. *TR
