Consumer Description

THE CAR WILL CUT OFF AND THINK ITS OUT OF GAS. WHEN MY CAR HAS 1/8 IT GOES FROM 50 MILES TO 0. THEN RUNS OUT OF GAS. IF I FILL UP IT WILL SAY 322 TIP EMPTY BUT ONLY GETTING 225 OUT OF FILL TANK OF GAS. I BEEN HAVING THE ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED CAR IN 2011. THE FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT HAS TO BE REPLACED WITH JET PUMP.
