fuel gauge...

[TNRZ4BRKFST]

so my truck has been parked for two months, couldn't afford diesel and insurance, plus i been doing things to it, anyway, finally put it back together (nothing major) and when i fire it up my fuel gauge reads correct, 1/2 tank. and my miles left says 294...when i start driving it the fuel gauge needle drops completely to the lowest point and the low fuel light comes on and the miles left gauge jumps to 490ish...it's the only guage messed up....where should i start looking for problems???

Fill out your signature so we will know what truck you drive. Go to the User CP above and click on it. Maybe your float sunk.

My fuel gauge did the same thing around 45000km. It turned out to be in the tank. Ford replaced it under warranty.

i got about 92k on it, tonite i drove it and it didn't then when i parked somewhere and left it running for about 15 min it was normal when i got back in and on the drive back home which was only like a mile away but it was dropping after like 50 feet!!!
