I wish my tank automatically filled itself ..... maybe its not a bad thing?
It could be a faulty sensor in the gas tank. I know on the older Dakotas its contained in the fuel pump, so fixing it might not be the cheapest.

Yes, It happened to me once. I left work on "E" and was on the phone my whole ride home.
I got up early to leave myself time to refuel, and when I pulled into the gas station I was on "F".
In my case, I was so engrossed in my phone call that I "talked" through stopping and filling up the night before
It puzzled me greatly until I found the receipt on the seat
That's OLD AGE for you..What was your question again?

this could be caused by a couple things. The sending unit in the tank (on the pump) or a faulty cluster. it could even be a computer issue. to rule out the computer, try resetting it. a quick search of this section will give you many detailed guides on how to do that.
As for testing the sensor, I dont know what to tell you. there is not an easy answer for that one.
