You forgot the 4th possibility:holler said:welll, im no expert, but I have a good understanding of the scientific method. there are 3 main possibilities:
either your guage is faulty, the float mechanism on the fuel pump in the tank that reads the fuel tank level is faulty (most likely), or there is a bad connection from the tank reader to the gauge.

Mine would do that if you left the ignition key open.sjrtx said:ive had the same prob a couple times with my car.
Not too long ago, i put 5 bucks worth of gas in the car(was in a hurry), and when i got in the car, cranked it up-i noticed the gas gauge went right to the same place it was before i put gas in it. I knew that wasnt right, so i gave it a second, and even started to drive off-still didnt move.
I walked inside, and asked the clerk if shed been having problems with that pump, and she said no-i thought to myself "thats bull****"
So i got in the car, cranked it up, and the needle was higher this time,it was actually where it was supposed to be. This has happened only a couple times though-not every single time.
lol sorry thinking faster than typing, my fuel light comes on but my gas tank is full, as in just got gas, every once in a while it points to where it should, full, but at random times, the light comes on and it reads empty, but recently its been staying on reading correctly, i dont get it, but it worked fine todayXTONKAX said:Now, if we change the word "fuel" to "full," as in the phrase, "but I have a fuel tank," the post makes sense. He would, therefore, be getting a "Low Fuel" warning light with a full tank of gas. Is this what you meant?
