| Description of the problem | I filled up my car on thursday after filling it up the first time i started the car the gauge read full, later on while drive the fuel gauge said 3/4 full even though i had driven a few miles. The next day after taking my kids to school i stopped to run an errand. I get back in my car to start it up and the gas light is on and the fuel gauge says empty. After driving a few miles the gas gauges went up to 1/4 then eventually 1/2 tank. The gauge had been showing 3/4 full a few times in the past few weeks after filling up but this is the first time it's shown as empty. |
