Anyone have a Fuel Gauge Issue?

As stupid as it might sound, make sure you filler cap is on well/correctly...I had a Z a couple of years ago that seemed very sensitive to this...apparently, modern fuel tanks are designed to maintain a certain amount of pressure and if the fuel filler cap isn't one properly, the pressure can't be maintained and you'll get the ubiquitous "check engine" light.

As to the fuel gauge question, mine lights up all the way if I fill up the tank all the way - of course, it might work well for me because I'm pretty anal about getting every possible drop in that the tank will hold - you never know when that last half-ounce will be the difference between rolling into the next filling station under power or having to push the car to the pump!

This was very true of my 2004 Tiburon I had. If I didn't tighten the cap enough (until I heard one or two "clicks") the Check Engine light would come on. Got lucky once and it went off after a refill but usually I had to go to the dealer to get it turned off.

I believe I even failed emissions in VA. once and it was simply because I hadn't tightened the gas cap enough. Sensitive, indeed!
