Description of the problem	Late last year (2014) my gas gauge suddenly showed empty (with empty light coming on) on my 2008 hyundai santa fe gls 2.. 3 l engine. In addition, the 'check engine' came on and stayed on. I took vehicle to my mechanic, who told me the fail codes related to the a and b sensors in the fuel tank not functioning properly. The cost of the repair was estimated at around $700. 00. My vehicle is no longer under any warranty. I asked if this defect is causing environmental problems or other problems that could cause engine damage, etc. And he said no. I said well, i could live with this by zeroing out my trip indicator and keeping track that way, knowing my approximate mpg. (i live in wisconsin on the lakeshore and we are under mandatory emissions testing due to the polluted air coming up from illinois and being trapped by lake michigan.) he told that next year (current 2015), my vehicle would not pass emissions because the 'check engine' light is on! Now as registration is due in november, i have to get it fixed. First off, i believe this is a safety issue because if i forgot to zero out my trip odometer and ran out of gas in tin-buk-two, i or my wife (who doesn't have a concealed carry permit) could be stranded in a dangerous area. Secondly, i get screwed on not being able to register my vehicle due to a non-emissions related issue.
