IMHO, a pretty silly reason for going through what you've had to endure. As has been said in countless posts about this so-called "issue", Why would people be so concerned about those one or two top LED's? The really important ones on that guage are the two at the BOTTOM.

You would think (and common sense would also reveal), that one would/should be a lot more concerned with running out of fuel. And not .... "can I get a few more drops into that tank(?)".

Now, the OP has had to endure having his Z's sending unit R & R'd twice.

Silly.... just silly!!

I fill it up when I'm like 4 to 5 bulbs down, as I don't like depleting the tank.

It's just frustrating, overall it is not a big deal - but I expect great craftsmanship from a OEM and a car that has a long history and plus goes above the $30k tag. Another one is that my dealership will not cover me for a rental car, they would charge me for it plus processing fees.

i get what your saying about the not letting it get low...here's the problem, mine was not showing full, fine i know i filed it. But that means it's not working correct. I was on a road trip, looked at the gauge, cool 5-6 lights on, i'll stop at the next town a fill it up, with in 30-40 miles it was empty and i'm dead on the hwy at night with nothing around. I had checked the "range" and i should have been good.

Lately, I have been also experiencing the top LED not lighting up when I fill up all the way. The funny thing is when I start up the car later the top LED is lit.

It irritates me whenever it happens.
