| Description of the problem | After filling truck up with gas the fuel gauge did not register full. After driving a few miles down the road the check engine light came on and the gas gauge went to empty. Mechanic checked the the check engine code, which was a fuel sensor error. The mechanic reset the check engine. After several miles the gas gauge started working again. It has been this way for six months now. Every time i fill my truck up with gas it does not register full. A few miles later the gas gauge goes to empty and the check engine light comes on. After several miles (varies from approximately 20 to 100 miles) the fuel gauge starts working again. Sometimes it not a matter of miles but time. Fill my truck up, gas gauge goes to empty, park my truck at the airport for a few days and when i get back the fuel gauge works. |
