Gas meter isn't marking

My car has the fuel pump replaced but since that day the fuel meter hasn't moved at all, I put $20 of gas the other day and nothing. Now I don't know how to fix this.

It is very possible that when the pump/fuel level sender assembly was reinstalled, the fuel lever float binded preventing it from floating to indicate proper fuel level, or the fuel level sender plug isn't plugged in at the fuel pump.

SOURCE: pumping fuel into the car takes forever ,and gas backflows

Fuel Backing up in the fill nozzle is most often caused by a restricted fuel tank vent line. This vent line runs from the tank to a charcole filter that stores the tank vapors while still allowing air to pass. It is typically located in the engine compartment. Look for a pinched hose first in the engine compartment. Typical hose diameter is 10 mm or less. If you have had recent work done on the car in the fuel tank area, this also may have resulted in the line being pinched or rerouted in error.

good luck

Then the system is purging when it should not. when the system purges certain criteria needs to be met.Fuel vapor are forced to flow in the canister from the fill vent valve to the fuel liquid vapor seperator this isolates fule from vapor there the vapor goes to the canister the vapor from the canister is fed in to the intake manifold into the combustion chamber this according to the purge process. The solution is to monitor the purge control solenoid unless the cansitor is fuel soaked.

Your replacement fuel pump assembly float got stuck somehow rendering it useless. also make sure the electrical harness was connected properly on the replacement. I take it for granted that the replacement was new? Perform a bend test on your replacement fuel pump assembly with an ohm meter. Move the float and see if the ohm meter resistance changes.

Burping noise from gas cap, and fuel irregularity once below 1/4 tank

theres two plugs on the fuel pump. one is for pump and one is for gauge if you take pump out of tank and put a volt meter on the two outer prongs in plug then the two inner two of them will read the same when yoou move the level up and down and when you put meter on other two it will change when you move level or the level part of pump isnt working correctly. my old tahoe did that and when it would get to a 1/4 of a tank i knew it was almost out of gas.

The switch is a check valve. no electrical to it. It is located on top of the tank. Try hitting the bottom of the tank. if the fuel pump starts working then replace the pump.

Mercury cougar 2002 run out of gas. then died. put gas in and now wont start. what could it be?

the fuel rail has to be bled out. when you run a fuel injected car out of gas sometimes the fuel rail needs to have the air bled out before it will operate properly.

When my gas light comes on how many miles do i have left before i run compeletly out of gas?

Most vehicle have about 2 gallons of fuel when the light comes on usually around 20-40 miles depending on the vehicle. I would suggest always keeping atleast a minimum of a quarter tank of fuel at all times if possible. Dirt/debris that can accumulate over time in your gas tank will be pumped through your fuel system once it is using the bottom of the barrel reserves this can cause a restricted fuel filter and your injectors to be clogged too.
