Kinda a bump, but not really.
Just realized something odd with my fuel gauge in that while it reads ~1/8th of a tank low it does not do it all the time. The gauge will read all the way to full when I top off the tank, then after approximately 25-30 miles of travel if I turn off and restart the truck it drops to 7/8ths of a tank (which it has done since I got it used over a year ago). However in the last two weeks or so once it hits this point it rapidly drops to 1/4 tank and decreases from there with the same characteristics that use to occur at 1/4 tank now occuring at 5/8ths. Also in the last two weeks when the idiot light comes on saying I have low fuel it takes less to fill it. The gallons to fill from the current "E" are approximately what they were when I fill from just under 1/4.
I am really at a loss for this sudden irradic behavior of the gauge and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the matter for me. I will probably give the stealership a call tomorrow to see if they believe it is instrument cluster related or sending unit related. Also, if it helps anyone, I have already had the fuel pump replaced about a year ago and have no driveability issues other than the screwy fuel gauge.
