Hi Guys,
Need some advise from all the experts on this forum.I recently noticed twice service fuel tank msg when the fuel tank got almost empty.When I fill the tank up the msg goes away.Any ideas why I am getting this error code.Is this something that needs to be looked into or just the code needs to be reset.
The car has 60k miles on it.

Thanks again for all your help.

Consider running a bottle of Techron Fuel system cleaner through with your next fill up. The fuel sending units on our cars can be affected by high sulphur content gasoline causing corrosion of the circuit.

Important : The GM Fuel System Treatment PLUS is not recommended for use with diesel fuel. The GM Fuel System Treatment PLUS is specially formulated for use in gasoline and/or E85 fuels.

GM Fuel System Treatment PLUS


GM Fuel System Treatment PLUS, P/N 88861011 (for U.S. ACDelco®, use 88861013) (in Canada, 88861012), is now available for use in gasoline engines.
Added Benefits and Uses


The PLUS portion of GM Fuel System Treatment PLUS is the addition of a filmer additive that, when used regularly, can protect fuel system sending units from the corrosive effects of certain sulfur contaminants found in some of today's gasoline.
Sulfur contamination can disrupt electrical continuity of certain fuel sending units and lead to erratic or false fuel gauge readings. With scheduled usage, GM Fuel System Treatment PLUS protects against the effects of harmful sulfurs in gasoline.
The Four Benefits


Just pour in one bottle of the GM Fuel System Treatment PLUS into the fuel tank when refueling around each oil change interval:


• Cleans -- Sulfur corrosion from fuel gauge sending units.


• Prevents -- Harmful sulfur components from attacking sensitive fuel system electronics.


• Protects -- By coating metallic surfaces of the fuel system.

• Removes -- Engine deposits left from use of poor quality fuels.
