Hi all.. I own a 2004 F150..lately ive noticed my digital gas guage fluxuates alot while driving. Sometimes if i get gas it doesnt update the miles "till empty" at all, then it will for only few miles, then itll adjust itself fully. Then sometimes as i drive i watch the miles decline like 1 mile per gallon for about 10 gallons then stops all in a matter of a min or so..NOW today the manual gas guage showed almost 1/4 tank but the digital says 0 miles till empty. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix for it. It's really annoying and i never really know how much gas i have and how accurate the guage is. Any help is much appreciated. TY

 

I have the same problem...The manual gas gauge is always correct. If anyone has a fix for this I am also all ears!

 

yeah manual gas guages dont lie is true but who wants to look at that when you have a digital one thats suppose to work and ive only got 16,000miles.

 

Try some fuel system cleaner in the tank.

 

my digital just started doing this also. im pissed

but my manual one does it somewhat too

for example it will be like right above the line on half a tank. ill turn the truck off

 

I have the same problem with my truck with 3300 miles

 

there must be a was to reset the whole information center, maybe disconnecting the battery something..Someones gotta know the solution.

 

My truck did this to me once... hasn't happened yet though...

However, on my Escape, this was a regular issue... in fact I was driving on a long trip and after I filled the suv up, I cranked it over and it still showed empty after putting in $40 in gas in the tank. I had to drive it that was periodically scratching my head trying to figure out how far I should go before filling up again...

Drove me nuts.

 

theres gotta be a fix..i wonder if maybe my gas cap could be the cause? I have a locking gas cap, might be aftermarket not sure, got it on ebay,, im clueless..

 

Are you adding fuel with the key on or in the accessory position?

 

i do
i listen to my music while i fill up

 

NOO i never have the ignition on, its always off..
