Are you guys referring to valve float? If so can someone explain what exactly causes it and what you guys are adding to avoid it? Sorry, my newb question of the morning.

no, its the float in the gas tank that measures the fuel level. It has a tendency to get stuck due to deposits, water, and possible other issues. Fuel additives such as sea foam lubricates and reduce the amount of water in fuel.
I add seafoam about every 3rd tank but i only use 1/2 bottle.
Once a year, adding the Techron just before winter storage, has worked well for me.
This way, it has a chance to soak the fuel level sender for a good 3-4 months.
I drive it pretty much year round,,,only parking on the really nasty days!! I run a bottle every couple or so months,,and 1 or 2 during a long trip. Have not had the gauge problem,,and don't want to experience it. Buy it on sale,,Advanced Auto Parts is starting a buy one-get one sale Thursday 3/26 thru 4/22,,,CHEAP insurance!!! ,,,,,OOPS!! YES TECHRON!!!
