Could be the sending unit in the tank, or the gauge on the dash. A mechanic would check the signal from the sending unit at the tank.

sokol520--Sounds like fuel pump/fuel guage sending unit. They are integrated and located inside the fuel tank, most likely.

SOURCE: fuel gauge

khooper, in another forum, told me that "Chevron Techron Fuel System Treatment Plus can remove harmful sulfur deposits from the sending unit and a filmer agent that can prevent the deposition of said sulfur"

My 05 Trailblazer LT 2WD.
Erratic readings, and when the fuel level was below 1/2 full, the needle would sit on "Empty" with the amber light staying on.

So I went to a dealer, they replaced the fuel level sensor (p/n 19177712 SEN KIT 3.107 $118.62) with labor $270.00 for a total of $398.86 this appears to have fixed it for now.

I also talked to another mechanic who blames ethanol for these deposits !

Sounds like the sending unit in the main tank is faulty.

If the reset does not work, you may have to inspect the float device inside the tank that goes up and down along with the fuel inside the tank. It may not be aligned or needs replacement.

I changed the fuel pump on my car and now the fuel gage stays stuck on full. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

Try disconnecting the battery for a minute. If that doesn't straighten it out, you may have to take it apart again. The float might be hung up on something. It may shake itself straight next time you put gas in, too.

Gas gage not working, gas tank seems full but it is not

You will need to remove the fuel tank from the truck and replace the fuel pump/fuel level sensor module that is inside the fuel tank. Use extreme caution when doing this as there is a real fire hazard.
