I have the same problem, so everytime I put some gas to my dakota, I reset the odometer, and I get around 55 miles for every 20 liters. Ive calculated and the gas light randomly comes on when I have around less than 1/8 of tank left.

 

i am confused with mine i saw somewhere it said we have like 12 or 22 gal. tanks but from totally empty like ran out of gas i can only get 10 gallons in it which averages about 160 mpg which seems crappy for a reg cab short bed v6 truck. O and my gauge only works from above F to half at half i run out totally

 

Today I ran out of gas. Since I was working and carrying some weight. Thankfully I was very close to my gas station soI just put it on neutral and let it flow, LOL it was very fun.

 

what size tanks do our trucks come with? mine has a 14 or so gallon tank (never had it close to E so i odnt know exact number) i hate that it has such a small tank i always wondered about puttin a bigger tank in and holy **** our trucks have a gas light!!!???

 

mine has a 22 or so galons tank.

 

Ya 22 Gal. is the most common tank but also was 15 Gal. If you need to know a few say the 22 Gal. has a L shaped in the front.

 

well aint that some **** i just happened to get the odd number car tank

would the 22 gallon swap out into my truck easily??

 

I would image so. Just take some measurments first.

 

Mine stays at E all the time. I have heard that it was a sending unit and I have heard that it may be grounding out. I also heard that it can get stuck and need to be adjusted by hand. Before I drop my tank, i would like to hear from others about this issue and how hard it is to do the repair job

 

Use the search button on the forum. There is tons of people talking about fuel pump replacement. I have info in the FAQ area ( its also in my signature).
I drained the tank and dropped it. Not hard to do as the tanks are not very heavy when empty. Look on the circuit board on the side of the pump to see if the traces are wore out. Also you can test the sending unit without pulling the pump.
