Hi,
Recently my fuel gage stop working. It now point towards the 3/4 to full mark. I am wondering how does a gas station pump determine when the tank is full. The reason I ask is that I thought I had 4 to 5 gallons in the tank when the fuel gage broke. When I went to the gas station to fill up, the attendant could only add another 5 gallons. I thought I needed about12 to 13 gallons more. My manual says I have about 18 1/2 gallon capacity. I could have been wrong and gage had broken earlier than I though and I had a lot more gas in the tank. I plan to use the trip odometer to help me determine when to fill up at the gas station. Based on a conservative 10 miles a gallon, I will fill up after each 100 miles.
Thanks in advance for any information.
Joe
