      FordTechMakuloco I have an 09 f150 4.6 3v. I don't have any codes, however I have not been able to fill my tank fully in over six months. I can only put maybe 20 gallons (I have the 26 gallon tank) before it clicks that it's full. Do you think there is debris preventing the arm to lock out fully? I usually get over 440 miles on a full tank, lately I can only get 370.

    Gotta thank you for that additive tip. It completely worked and saved me hundreds by replacing that sending unit. The first 1/2 tank, I went on a back road with no traffic, and would pump my brakes to slosh the fuel around. It started working perfectly right after that.

    This stuff is great. I've used it for years. It cleans so well that it made my truck's fuel pump last 2 months before dying, allowing me to get engine and suspension done first, while still driving it. Truck started hesitating, added techron. 4 weeks before symptoms again. Repeat. Went 3 weeks. Repeat. 2 weeks, 1 week. Made appt for a new one at mechanic, fuel pump officially died when I tried to leave the shop lol. Yeah, this stuff is amazing. It may be slightly more pricey but it's worth it.

      * I would not replace the fuel pump unless the fuel pump was not working. I can live with an incorrect fuel level reading by keeping track of my mileage with my odometer.
      The fuel level sending unit was sending an incorrect fuel reading and also probably causing a check engine light. Your vehicle could have been driven just the same. The fuel pump runs just the same with or without an accurate fuel level sensor.
      * Do not run a fuel pump dry so fill up the gas tank and reset the odometer after each fill up.

    Had a P0463 on my 05 Taurus not too long ago and Techron cleared it right up. The fuel gauge would peg ever so slightly over full when the tank got over 80 - 85 % and would drop the fuel gauge below empty if it stayed pegged long enough, after the second time it would request the MIL. Read about this same problem and decided Techron would be a lot easier and cheaper than a new sending unit. Lol Glad I did.

    I can confirm that this seems to fix the issue. My mom's '08 Taurus kept having the check engine light come on with a P2068 code. I would clear it and it would go away for a few weeks and then pop up again. I noticed it seemed to only happen when the fuel was below a quarter tank. I started using the Techron additive about once every month or two and the problem stopped. It hasn't happened for about a year now.

    I was having this problem after keeping my car in storage while 5 years in Japan. Fuel level was at 1/4 full the whole time and each time it reached that level my fuel level sending unit would report an error then cause my check engine light to come on. If I didn't let the level get that low I had no problem. I am located overseas and could not get the Techron product that is referenced here, but reading the labels of several products that were available I found that the Slick50 Fuel Tank Cleaning Solution fixed my sensor exactly as explained here.

    Going to give this a shot. My 2007 Expedition will reach around 142 miles until empty, and then all of the sudden it will read ---Miles to Empty, and then very gradually climb back up until it reads 60 miles until empty. The tank still has approximately 8-10 gallons remaining, because it will only take around 15 gallons to top it off. I'll post another response to let you know if it works. Also, the fuel pump was replaced about 1 year ago. Thanks for the awesome tip!

  • @LetricShave

    Your videos are very informative. My 1999 Taurus will not complete the I/M Readiness self testing because the Evap System is sensing an erratic fuel level. I have a P0460 code lurking in the background. It does not bring on the check engine light, but I can read the code with an Auto Enginuity scan tool interface. Ford Service documentation says if you have a 15% or greater fluctuation in fuel level readings, the PCM will abort the Evap test. Do you think the Anti Slosh Module inside the instrument cluster could be the problem, and do you have any videos on troubleshooting the Ford Anti Slosh Module? Thank you

    I blame myself for allowing my tank to go so low of gas that the chime alarmed and got "
    low fuel" notice on the odometer, but I wanted to wait to get good Mobil gas in the tank as always. I put in 20 gallons, but the needle only went up to 1/4 full. I believe it is the float that went too low, it's maybe not coming up, or just getting a bad reading. I will use Chevron Techron Plus a couple times in hopes things will get back to normal and get good fuel level readings.

    I was experiencing erratic fuel gauge on a 2000 F-150 5.4 truck. The truck has a 24 gallon tank and a single bottle from Auto Zone says to add up to twelve gallons gas so I did my best to add to half tank-no fuel gauge fix. A few fill ups later, I did 2 bottles in a full 24 gallon tank. Fuel gauge worked properly almost right away and is working fine since. Since this product comes in several sizes, my advice is to buy the size that will be a good ratio to add to a full tank, which for me is 2 bottles.

    I have a 2005 Ford Explorer xlt with the 4.0 sohc and is has 177k miles. My fuel gauge hasn’t worked since 60k miles always used the odo trip meter as a fuel gauge. The issue that I’m having is that it pegs below E when you turn the key on and never rises no matter what I do. I dropped the tank. Pain in the a** if you don’t have a lift to work on. But I managed to get everything out without an issue. I removed the fuel pump assembly and decided to ohm check the sender just for the heck of it and it worked as it should. I went on with some more testing trying to fool the gauge into thinking that the tank was full with the two wires that run to the gauge with no luck there either. So with my luck and the vehicle having 177k miles I decided to put a new fuel pump in it since the harness was still accessible for further testing and put it all back together. I also checked another instrument cluster thinking it could be the gauge with no luck there either also pegged below E with the other instrument cluster. I did numerous tests including a gauge sweep and that’s the first time I’ve ever seen the gauge function and it brought me hope that it could be a simple fix hopefully you can help me out or point me into the right direction. The only codes that I got for it was a p0463 and the message for that was fuel level sensor A high input. And a B1201-00 and the message for that was fuel gauge sender circuit open or short to battery. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Brian - Aloha's Bruddah!! Hey man, do you have a video on suspected erroneous MPG readout on a 2009 Ford F150 or same Gen or similar vehicles?
    -- Even after resetting the KMA several times the MPG value works it way back to display about 12.8 MPG and stays there. I have seen it at 12.6 (once) but it went back to 12.8 and remained.
    -- Any ideas suggestions would be appreciated. I just can't trust the 12.8 MPG b/c I backed it up with 3 separate tank fill-ups to different levels and got varying MPG values.

    Hello! I put in the Chevron Fuel system cleaner in my 2001 Ford Expedition and the gauge is reading normal again. Thank you for the tip!

    2002 Expedition fuel gauge started being erratic then quit working altogether----no codes-----just a gauge that reads empty and a low fuel light. The fuel pump/sending unit assembly was replaced 2 years ago. Tried two tanks with the correct amount Techron each time for the amount of gasoline. Gauge still on empty. Unhooked the wiring at the plug back by the tank and hooked up the old pump/sending unit. Gas gauge works like it should. Any thoughts or do I have to drop the tank again to change the sending unit?

    Had the fuel pump go out in a 1999 Ford Expedition. I replaced the pump assembly, everything went smoothly, but the guage still reads erratically. It's unreliable to know the fuel level. Any further ideas on the cause?

    Quick Question, have a 2013 ford edge that gave me the same code. Fuel guage stops working when it reaches half way. Vehicle has roughly 65,000kms. Is there an access panel for the pump from the inside? Or do I have to drop the tank. Just incase the Techron solution doesn't work

    Hey, awesome video, mi 01 explorer suddenly went from have a tank to full, and no matter how many fuel is in the tank it just reads full, could it be something else apart from the fuel sending unit?

  • @dalesworld1308
    @dalesworld1308 6 років тому

    Had the P0462 code in my van and the fuel gauge drop and rise intermittently only at a certain level in the tank so hopefully this will clear the issue up. Thanks for the tip. As an aside, I couldn't find 'Plus", only Complete Fuel System cleaner which I'm hoping is the same thing.

    Hi,
    Question: The fuel pump on my 2005 ford expedition 5.4L XLT 3v
    was replaced about year ago because the original went bad. The issues I'm having with the new pump is:
    1. The fuel guage needle does not go all the way to full or passes the last marker on the gas guage. It used to do it before the new pump was replaced.
    2. I now hear a thumping sound coming from the fuel tank when i shut the car off / parked after driving around for 30 to 1 hr.
    Is this a sign that the pump going bad again? Or can it be something else?
    3. My digital MPG guage on my dash cluster is jumping around like crazy when driving. It goes from 13 mpg to 16 mpg in less then one mile. Then it jumps around from 13 to 14 then to 14.5 then back to 15. All in less then a mile. Is this part of the pump? Or something else.
    Any information will helpful.
    Thanks

    Hey! So this worked while we were running it through the tank but as soon as we put just gasoline in it, the gauge dropped back down to E and the gas light is back on. Is it okay to run this through the tank for a few more tanks?

    Hi Brian do you know the sulphur content for the various grades of unleaded in the US? In Australia the unleaded is supposed to be one of the worst in the world for sulphur@150ppm for regular unleaded and 50ppm for premium unleaded.High sulphur fuel is bad for catalytic convertor efficiency and life. Thanks for more great info.

This engine does not have a pcv I need to replace at a certain mileage? I guess I misread my schedule maintenance manual. I thought it said change around one hundred thousand miles. I do not want to put the intake unless I need to. Please kept the great videos coming. Thank you, J

    Would you recommend trying this for a 00' f650 7.3, Allison 545? The fuel gauge stays stuck on full. No codes. Worked for half a day last week. Odometer and speedometer have now stopped as well. Speedometer may be Allison related.

  • @thegenius46m
    @thegenius46m 4 роки тому

    So I just replaced my fuel pump as it was time and have had the erratic fuel gauge issue for over a year now intermittently. Thought it was the sending unit all this time and just went to fill up the tank and the gauge stopped at 1/2. I noticed driving the 1 mile away I live from the pump it started to creep up a tick or 2 on the gauge but I let it idle for 5 min after on level ground and nothing changed.
    And ideas what else this could be? I have no codes

    My 2012 Expedition EL had the fuel Gauge stuck at half a tank. Do you miles till empty originally read 238. After filling up the car, the fuel gauge dropped below empty and the miles till empty showed three dashes. Could what you described in this video be the problem?

    I appreciate all the great videos. I have a 2013 Ford F150 with similar issues BUT a bigger problem is the vehicle shutting down when i come to a STOP. I get a LOW OIL PRESSURE as the engine dies however, I think that's just because the engine died and caused the LOP notification. I never know when its going to happen. The amount of fuel makes no difference, it happens no matter how much fuel I have. Have you had an opportunity to address this? Again, thank you for so much valuable info. Bill

  • @jkrieger6832
    @jkrieger6832 3 роки тому +1

    Worked for me. I didn't have any codes but my fuel guage would never read all the way full on a full tank. At halfway it would jump to "E" and the Info system would say I only had 7 miles to empty. After using Techron Concentrate Plus the guage and info system corrected itself within like ten minutes. Reads good. No longer overflows at the pump.
