Fuel Gague???
So as I sat last night watching gas prices go up in a hurricane panic I decided to head out to get some gas, I dont drive the truck much but thought better get some while I need it. Gague said 1/4 got 3 blocks away from home it started running poorly missing a lot. Then died. Called my neighbor he came and pulled my truck home. After no codes varify spark I did a fuel system check, no gas. I could hear the fuel pump so I knew that was good, then for fun decided to dump 5 gal. gas in the tank and try to start, took 3 tries but it started running and back to normal. Went to the gas station and it took another 31 gallons, thats 36 gallons total, maybe 35.5 so it was empty but still showine 1/4. How do I fix this fun problem?

I had a problem where the gas gauge would intermittently read E when I knew there was a lot of gas in the tank.
There's a little silver strip on the gauge reader in the tank that gets covered with sulfur and can cause this problem. Try running the tank down to a 1/4 and run 2 bottles of Chevron Techron Concentrate Plus (get that exact type) and run the tank almost empty. It should get that silver strip clean. Worked great for me and I haven't had the problem repeat in over a year.
