Mitsubishi Lancer gas gauge inaccurately shows empty with fuel remaining on Mitsubishi Lancer

Some Mitsubishi Lancer owners report experiencing issues with their gas gauge inaccurately showing empty while there is still fuel remaining. This problem is often attributed to a fault in the fuel level sending unit, which can lead to incorrect gauge readings. Additionally, wiring issues between the gauge and the fuel sender can disrupt communication, resulting in inaccuracies. A blown fuse for the fuel gauge may also cause it to display incorrect levels due to a disrupted power supply. Furthermore, the movement of fuel inside the tank can temporarily affect gauge accuracy, especially when fuel shifts from one side to the sender unit. In some cases, the issue may be isolated to the power supply of the gauge itself within the instrument cluster. It is crucial for owners to diagnose the specific cause to effectively address the inaccurate readings by checking the sending unit, inspecting wiring, and ensuring the fuse is intact.
