Alarm and fuel

Asked by Kelly Jul 26, 2019 at 12:16 AM about the 2006 Volkswagen Beetle 2.5L

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

First things first! On the 15th of July I had my fuel
pump replaced. A week later I had a 1/2 tank of
gas. I put $10 in...then all of a sudden my gas
plummets. My light turns on. The guy who did it
came and looked at it. He tinkered with it and Wala
I was back to the full tank. Then tonight it did it
again. What is going on. I know I have gas in my
car. How do I remedy this??
