Default Gas guage

When I fill my tank up the gas guage will toggle back and forth from full tank to low fuel then when I burn enough off to about 3/4 of a tank it works fine with no problems. If dont put over 3/4 of a tank I would not notice a problem at all. Anyone else ever seen this before.

Put some Techron into it. The sulphur deposits cause issues and the techron will help get rid of it.

It may take a few to clean up the sensor

Mine would show 3/4 and slowly creep up to full It took 2 bottles to clear it and its worked fine since.

Yes, put another bottle in the gas. Sometimes it does take more than one to clean the sulfur deposits off.
