Hey guys, recently purchased an 07 Screw. All has been fine until this morning. Last night when i parked the truck i had (fuel gauge showed) 1/4 tank of gas. This morning when i started it to my surprise i had a little over 3/4 of a tank. I would love if someone surprised me with free gas but i doubt it.

It did rain hardcore all night long with high winds. Also, it went from 2 degrees last night to plus 17 this morning.

Any ideas?

Thanks
B

 

Any other gauges acting up? This can be the first sign a battery is going.

 

not that i have noticed. Oil press is good, battery charge looks ok, heat etc all ok. I am curious what it will show me during lunch. Will report back.

 

Mine has done that intermittently...my driveway has a pretty good incline...come home with a 1/4 tank leave with 3/4 tank...usually clears itself up...not sure if there is a float that sticks?

Regards!

 

yeah, at lunch time it was down again...but, sure makes me nervous

 

My truck does the same exact thing. I'm sure it's something with the float as I park on a decent incline. Throws off the miles to empty and everything (which is annoying). Seems to happen more when it's colder.

 

Fuel sending unit on its way out. Changed mine out with new, all is well.

 

Ford's fuel gauges have a resistor on them to slow the change over time. That way the gauge isn't bouncing all over the place every time you hit a bump. Inclines will register a change in tank levels.
