my guess is bad sending unit mine all of a sudden did it when I was hunting had a 1/2 tank next thing I know I had a full tank for 3 days

could it possibly just be the anti slosh thing in it .... i really hope thats it ... im going to try to beat it w/ a mallet later ... hopegully that works ... i dont feel like dropping a tank w/ around 30 gallons in it

Run it down then drop it.

I guessing it's from all the wheeling and the fuel slappin around in there.

theyre stock ... my springs in the front are real real real low ... like maybe a half inch or less from the bump stops so they look like the wells are filled a bit more than theyre supposed to be ... mainly cuz they are .. i need a lift .. bad lol

so that would cause the anti slosh thing to mess up or cause the whole sending unit to be messed up ... basically do u think i have to replace it or is something just jammed that can be fixed by say beating it w/ a mallet lol ... i really dont want to drop this tank lol
