running out of gas
The fuel gauge will no longer give an accurate reading.
Definitely! I had this problem diagnosed and found that the gas gauge is fine, but the internal float sticks and this is a common problem. Obviously the "Check Engine Soon" comes on because of this and the gas gauge is almost always incorrect.
The fuel cap has no effect on the fuel gauge and there is no "reset" for this. More than likely the problem is with fuel sending unit in the tank. A less likely cause is incorrect levels of additives in fuel, this can cause the gauge to flucuate erratically.
No.
A common problem with Honda cars is that the fuel gauge is stuck on full. This problem is solved by replacing the gauge cluster.
The gauge may be giving you a false reading.
Your fuel sending unit is not giving the correct reading to your gauge
Hi, Probably 95% of the time, or more, the problem with a fuel gauge not reading correctly is the fuel level sensor. This sensor is located in the fuel tank and that tank will have to be drained and dropped to get to the sensor. Sorry about that. Good Luck
Generally the fuel gauge sending unit located in the fuel tank is at fault for incorrect fuel level readings.
Either your oil pressure gauge is reading low , your engine temperature gauge is reading high , or your fuel gauge is reading low so your almost out of gas
either the fuel gauge needs replacing or the fuel gauge sending unit in the fuel tank is stuck
If the fuel gauge is stuck, the needle never moves, then the gauge has a problem and needs to be replaced.
