Description of the problem	My 2006 nissan xterra has a fuel gauge problem. After filling up the fuel tank, my fuel gauge registered full. After a few days of driving, the fuel gauge did not show a lower fuel level. A few days later, the fuel gauge needle dropped all the way down to empty and the empty indicating light turned on. I had only driven 100 miles so i knew that the tank was not empty. A diagnostic check revealed that the fuel tank sending unit may be at fault. (my daughter owns a honda element and she experienced a similar problem with her fuel gauge and had it repaired under warranty.) i am driving the car and must use the diagnostic code reader to cancel the "service car" light. My code reader says that the fuel tank level sensor is the problem. My car has just run past its warranty period so costly repairs will result when i get the car repaired. Could it be that the fuel tank sending units within the fuel tank were manufactured by the same manufacturer (japanese)? I read an newspaper article stating that nissan was to have a recall on this fuel tank problem but their reply to my email was that there is no recall forth coming.
