Default reset fuel guage?

Going through the dreaded fuel guage problems. I had read somewhere here about re-setting the fuel guage or odometer, but I cant find it. Anyone have info on this. Guage says 1/2, odometer says low???? will add BG44k or Techron next. Any info or help Thanks

Never heard of resetting gas gauge or odometer. Your fuel sender is contaiminated by high sulphur gas. Use Techron, sometimes it takes more than one treatment. Then use a Top Tier fuel, do an internet search for them. Shell is one.
