Correction:
Reprogram the PCM with the new service calibration which is available in the June 2003, Techline®
TIS release sent to the dealers on 6/28/03. Use the TIS Version 7 or later data update.[/QUOTE]
would reprograming my PCM mess up my tune?

Sulfur in the fuel makes deposits on the sensor potentiometer which detergents like Techron or Seafoam remove. Leaving the deposits out of the wet fuel lets the deposits harden. I don't think BP has a detergent comparable to Techron even though it is a good fuel. Adding the detergent to a mostly empty tank to be sure it is carried over to both tanks will help.

I don't know, but would guess: Yes!
I had the gauge drop on me one time, many moons ago (at least 6 yrs). Filled tank, and problem hasn't happen since. I use Mobil, almost exclusively. Have never used Chevron or tried the Techron additive.
