Fuel Gauge Inaccuracy?

update: i thought the issue fixed itself but today i thought i had 1/4 tank (4 dots) and the car shut off. had to get a friend to hook me up with 2 gallons of gas to get outta there. im buying that techron tomorrow. if that doesnt work then i guess i'll be going to the dealer for a new fuel sender unit or whatever the problem is. ugh, id hate to take it to a dealer! hopefully this techron does the trick!

Guess I was wrong there in assuming you acted on that...Just sloshing, No techron. If you'd taken my advice from 2 weeks ago it might be fixed by now!......

i thought it fixed itself when i saw more dots magically light up. no worries, i sloshed it around PLENTY of times with the techron in there today. i mustve looked like a maniac.
