Description of the problem	I have a 2005 nissan xterra. Earlier this week i fueled up the vehicle and continued home. I realized that my fuel gauge was reading only 3/4 of a tank. So, i went back up to the gas station and tried to finish filling the tank (on . 57 cents). Every day since then, once i start the car the fuel gauge reads bad. This past monday the service engine soon light had come on. I then went out and purchased an obd ii scanner to read the error code. It was p0463 (fuel level sensor a circuit high input). Did some research on the subject and found that it means that i have a faulty fuel sending unit. It seems to be a very common problem for 2005-2007 nissan xterra. This is a safety issues. If my wife is driving my daughter back to nyc and the car runs out of fuel and they are stranded in the middle of the new jersey turnpike with people driving past them in excess of 70-80 mph.... That is far from safe.
