Consumer Description

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK USED AND EACH TIME THE TRUCK IS BELOW 1/4 OF A TANK OR FILLED UP THE FUEL GUAGE BOUNCES BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY CAUSING THE "LOW FUEL LIGHT" TO COME ON. IT WILL READ RIGHT ONCE IT'S AT 3/4 AND DOWN TO 1/4 OF A TANK FOR THAT 1/2 OF A TANK OF FUEL OTHERWISE IT JUST BOUNCES CONSTIANTLY BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY EVEN IF I JUST FILLED IT. I SPOKE WITH THE PRIOR OWNER AND HE SAID THE PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 3 OR SO YEARS AGO AT 75,000 TO 80,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. *TT
