FSU Problem?
I've read the FAQ about the Fuel Sending Unit problem...sounds like my problem
Filled up my 05 C6 (10K miles) today w/premium Shell (as always).
Leaving the station, got the "Service Fuel System" DIC message and the gas gauge went to empty. It bounced around several times but usually read empty.
Then the engine light came on and has stayed on. However, after driving about 20 miles, my gauge now appears to be fine. Probably burned off a gallon.
Owners manual says engine light will go off after several restarts but I've restarted the engine about 5 or 6 times with no results. Maybe tomorrow?
For you that have had this problem, did it occur right after filling up? Is there some sort of cause and effect here...I mean, does the unit tend to go bad right at fill-up? Think this just a chance happening or will it continue?
