Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Can't fill fuel more than half tank

1 Answer

10

Is it taking the proper amount of gallons for the tank size. 18.6 gallon tank capacity when completely physically empty. May be the Fuel sending unit. It has a float attached the measures fuel level. It's a little sensor arear the float end rub across and they do go bad. If tank is taking proper fuel capacity then this would be next. Depending on performance I may ignore it and keep track of mileage for fuel consumption. Not a fun repair dropping the fuel tank and all. Just be careful not to end up stranded. Other uncommon culprits on circuit issues like a fault somewhere causing voltage issue, bad cluster, etc. Good luck!
