problem #3

S-10 Pickup

  • Manual transmission
  • miles
Noticed gas gauge was dropping to empty when I had a full tank of gas. Kept an eye on it and the problem became worse. Now my gas gauge does not read at all. I can be on empty and it reads that I have more than a half tank left. Severly times I have almost run out of gas due to this problem. I know have to watch my mileage and determine when I need to get gas.

Vehicle ran out of gas and lost power while driving. This occurred because of failures in the gas gauge and fuel pump system. Gas gauge failed to read the correct fuel level in tank. This failure also caused the vehicle to fail state inspection.
