It is common for the fuel level sensor in the fuel tank read the fuel level incorrectly. The sensor must be replaced to correct the condition. Our technicians recommend having the complete fuel pump module replaced on high mileage vehicles.

The fuel gauge will tremer and jump all over.

Gas gauge fluctuates from full to empty. I've ran out of gas several times not knowing how much is in the van. Gas gauge won't go past half a tank.

Gas gauge needle swings from full to empty. Also, stalling and not starting. Shop diagnosed problem; fuel pump. Replaced it and problem solved. $750.

I think I had ran my gas to low after my gas light went on. Would that cause my fuel sensor to go out? So now when I put gas in, the fuel gauge fluctuates up and down and I never know how much fuel I have.

Fuel level reading behaved very erratically. Would read empty most of the time, but would occasionally jump to non-zero level. Replaced the fuel pump assembly in the gas tank and the gauge now registers the correct fuel level.

Ran out of gas because fuel level sensor was faulty. Fuel gauge read quarter tank when empty.
