Filled up the truck this morning and drove about 4 miles back home. I just now noticed that my fuel gauge was sitting between 1/2 and 3/4.

My first thought was that someone had stolen some of my gas while I was parked at the gym, so I pulled into a station to fill 'er back up but it only took about 1/4 gallon. So the tank really is full but the gauge is wrong. Any thoughts?

Coincidentally, the truck was in the shop this morning for it's first oil change (free). As far as I can tell the tech did everything right. I checked the oil after I got the truck back and made sure there was indeed a new filter on.

 

My fuel gauge does the same thing but not every time. I fill up and it starts at half and works its way to full after 5-10 minutes. Will have it looked at at the dealer if it gets worse.

 

Be sure you have key removed from ignition when fueling truck

 

I believe this is a common problem, call your dealer.

 

Parked mine once at about 1/2 a tank. When I started up and left it read full, thought it was a gift from god until a couple days later it went bacl down to where it should have been all at once when I started it. Never happened again

 

Thanks for the replies. My gauge went back up to full today. it did take awhile though, at least 10 minutes of driving.

 

,y screw did the same thing once. 5 mos old with 7000 miles.
