- Fuel system, diesel: storage: tank assembly
- Summary
- Service Action: Replace the Left and Right Fuel Level Sensor. After refueling, the fuel gauge will display an incorrect fuel level. When this occurs, the fuel gauge shows the fuel level as 3/4 full. CAUSE Due to a high proportion of ethanol in the fuel, the internal mechanisms of the fuel level sensors may swell. This may inhibit the movement of one or both of the fuel level sensors.
