Some Mitsubishi Outlander owners report experiencing issues with their fuel gauge system, consistently running out of gas at the 1/4 tank mark despite multiple replacements. These owners often face incorrect readings due to problems with any component of the fuel gauge system, from the sending unit in the tank to the dashboard gauge. Additionally, some owners are advised to keep their fuel tank above the 1/4 full mark to protect the fuel pump and filter, as issues with these components may necessitate professional replacement. Moreover, running the engine out of fuel can trap air in the tank lines, fuel pump, and injectors, leading to processor errors and further maintenance concerns. It is crucial for owners to address these potential causes to ensure accurate measurements and proper functioning of the fuel gauge system.
