My fuel gauge isn't going down like it used to.....not necessarily a bad thing but I want to understand the dual tanks so I can figure this out.
Gauge is at full mark but yesterday I made several in town trips so I'm wondering if something is up. I go to the gas station and am able to add only 4.8 gallons but I'm thinking if the tank needed 4.8 gallons shouldn't it have been lower than full? Now the gauge is reading just over full.
Is this what's going on with my tanks:
The secondary tank is full but is no longer sending fuel to the primary tank therefore it's a matter of time before the primary tank runs out and I'm stranded...
Any recommendations on what to check? Is my thought process correct?
p.s. I had the gauge going to empty problem last year, many many times. I just reset the code and didn't worry about it. In January my battery died and since replacing the battery, I haven't had the problem with the gauge going to empty. I've put about 3K miles on the car since the battery change.
