Fuel gauge puzzler
Filled the ol' 69 with petrol the other day and the fuel gauge shot way past full bout 2inches Road around 2days now and it hasn't moved. What's up?

Re: Fuel gauge puzzler
Both of my trucks do that. They go past full....stay there for what seems like a long time and then they move pretty fast towards empty....I always enjoy it when they hover in the full zone for a while....

Re: Fuel gauge puzzler
Mine goes past full, but when it just touches the red E mark you best find a gas station fast.
