FUEL LIGHT
 

do all trucks come with a low fuel level light...im wondering because i thought i was nearly empty the other day( fuel guage was right on E) and i fueled up and topped off both tanks and only got 198 gallons..and i have 120 each side? anyone have the same problem? i have a 2000 century class.......can anyone help me out?

I just had the same problem with my fuel gauge not being correct. It was not reading full when I filled up. I replaced the sensor on the tank and that fixed it.

only having 42 gallns left in the tanks IS low, theres no garauntee that theres 21 gallons exactly in each tank, you coulda been sucking fumes out of one, and you really dont wanna get the road service bill for someone to come out and get the fuel system primed again, not to mention the 6$ a gallon they`ll charge ya for fuel. :wink:

only really accurate fuel gauge is a Stick.
That is if you don't have a anti theft screen and then that becomes a problem.

On our one truck with the screen the holes in it are 1/4 inch so a 3/16 inch wooden dowel works for us. On the few trucks I've driven I've found that 4 inches of fuel is safe (about 20 gallons per tank) and on the one I screwed up on it was at 2 inches when it expired :cry: . Trucks I've driven seem to burn 1 inch or less of fuel per hour so I go by that - if I need to drive 7 hours I want to see at least 11 inches of fuel in the tanks. YMMV :lol:

is that something on the fuel tank its self? or engine? ive replaced the fuel/temperature sensor 4 but not sensor

It's right on top of the fuel tank and real easy to replace. The sensor was $33.00.

ill check it out 2morrow when i wash truck...and let you know thx

ok looked at it 2day is that the plug in thingie :D with wires comin out of on top of drivers side tank lol sorry im not a mechanic
