Well today I noticed my gas needle went down alot more then I would suspect since I did not drive it alot. So I am almost on E , I deceide to put 10 bucks in, which is normal. So I am filling it up and it stops at like 7.90 cents, I'm like odd, I look and its over flowing. I'm like wtf, this can't be right, 7.90 cents only fills it up about 5 and a half gallons. So that means when my needle was almost on E, I still had about 5 gallons left. Did my flaot in my gas tank just bite the dust, if so can I just go by the trip meter so I don't have to drop my tank. Any tips ? . Right now my car is filled up to the top. And its about this far
|| from the F, alittle closer actually. So is that how far I am off by, so when I was getting close to the E, I was not really, I still had like 1/4 of a tank left. So maybe now its back to normal and it just messed up before because I have not gas in about a week. Maybe I will let it get close to E again, and fill it up with 10 dollors again. And see what happens. I still want to know what you guys would do ?

Well I did another search on this board, turns out I found some more topics. Seems that the sending unit is the problem most times in this case. My question now is, if I replace the sending unit, how would I know this fixed my problem. Is there anyway to test the old unit ?
