THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS A FALSE FULL AND THE TANK DOES NOT FILL ALL THE WAY. THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS A FALSE EMPTY SHOWING YOU HAVE A HALF A TANK WHEN YOU MAY ACTUALLY HAVE 3 GALLONS. RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ON THE HIGHWAY IS NOT SAFE. THE GAS STATIONS PUMP SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY GIVING YOU THE IMPRESSION THAT THE TANK IS FULL AND IS CONFIRMED FULL BY AN INACCURATE GAS GAUGE WHICH SHOWS FULL.
