| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 nissan xterra. Every time i fill my gas tank the gas gauge drops to the bottom and the light comes on. After cranking the check engine soon light comes on. After driving a short ways the gauge gradually begins to move back up to the top. After several driving trips the check engine soon light will turn itself off. This happens each time i fill my tank whether the tank is 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, or empty. |
