fuel guage
I started up my truck the other morning and noticed my fuel gauge on empty. As i was driving to the gas station the low fuel light came on. I pumped about 5 gallons in and the punp shut off. I tried putting in more gas and it was full. The fuel guage has read empty since. Any ideas about this would be appreciated. I have an '06 F-150 screw KR. Thanks.
