On my last fill up i pumped 33 gallons, when previous fill ups were less than 26 gallons. I have a 1999 expedition Eddie Bauer. I thought I had a 26gal tank, since with the warning light on and saying 10 miles to empty, on digital gauge, has only taken 25.3 or so. Even if it is a 30 gal tank, how could it take 33gals? I did notify the manager of problem. I stopped pumping on the first click. Which means I may have been able to pump another gallon or so. Now i am noticing my gauge seems to be acting up, as I have put nearly 300mi and still have just over half a tank. Could there be any relation?

The 99 expedition comes with a 26 gal tank as standard equip. and there is an optional 30 gal available. I suspect the gas pump you used is not accurate, and needs to be recalibrated. I think it's just a coincidence that the gauge is acting up now. Hopefully I'm wrong, and by some miracle you actually are now getting 300 miles on a half tank of gas! You may have a bad sending unit, this would result in inaccurate fuel tank readings.

Is 98 Eddie Bauer expedition transmission compatible with 2000 Eddie Bauer expedition transmission

Hi,
I don't have the answer but if you go to Car-part.com, and look up your vehicle it should show an INTERCHANGE.

Also, any decent used auto parts/salvage/wrecking yard can tell you.

Filling gas tank

There is a vent pipe that runs along the fill pipe, they get kinked and cause this concern (tank can't vent air when filling), the only fix is to replace the fill pipe assembly.
