Default DIC problems

system dinged and gas gauge dropped to empty and low fuel signal came on. Stopped and filled up and only took 5 gallons. drove 2 hours and system went to normal. gas gauge went to reading and all was fine for approx. 30 mintues. It dinged and went out again. When you reset it all other functions work except this one. Any ideas?

That has happened to almost all of us C-5 owners, go to Wal-mart and get a couple of bottles of Technion and put in your gas tank should clear right up. It has something to do with I believe a build up of sulfur on a fuel sensor in your gas tank. Keep searching on the forum and you will see the thread.
