mine is the opposite...I have an 04 auto coupe and ill turn the car on and it might be at 1/2 tank but as im driving it goes up lol...but I always get a full tank (up to the F) and sometimes a little higher than the F.

 

I think the sending units can just go bad, or get fouled. When this happens they send signals that are out of specs and indicate gas levels that can be greatly different than what's really in the tank.

I may be way off, but it would seem to me that when this happens, the fuel gauge could indicate pretty much anything (i.e. less than what is in there or possibly more).

 

ya same here as well, like if i driver faster than normal, it goes up !! and when i drive slower, its goes down , no joke ITS SOO ANNOYING , ITS LIEK
WHAT THE FUC* IS MY GAS LEVEL , i can like stop on FULL !

 

Yeh mah gas gauge is a LITTLE off. Sometimes i'll grive 30+ miles and it will not even move until the next time i start the car! wierd!!

 

there is a recall on this issue print it from ur infinitihelp website and take it to any dealer near you even if u dont have warranty. thankie =]

 

This is the only recall issue I've seen that's even remotely close to the problem discussed in this thread, and it seems entirely different to me.

If you have different specifics, please post them here or provide a link.

2003-2004 INIFNITI G35 COUPE/SEDAN, 2003-2004 INFINITI FX35, 2003-2006 INFINITI FX45; VOLUNTARY RECALL CAMPAIGN FUEL HOSES
Infiniti has determined that some 2003–2004 model year Infiniti G35 sedan/coupe vehicles and 2003-2006 model year Infiniti FX35/45 vehicles may have a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety. There is the possibility that the fuel filler hose may crack and result in fuel leakage from the hose while refueling. If an ignition source is present, a fire could occur. In addition, fuel vapor hoses may crack and cause the malfunction indicator lamp to come on. To prevent this condition from occurring, Infiniti is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign to replace the fuel filler and vapor hoses with new ones.

 

Who should I call to make sure there is a RECALL on the FUEL GAUGE ? Since I live in Orange , the closest dealership is TUSTIN, so do I just call them, even though i do not have a WARRANTY ?

thanks

 

A little variation in the gas gauge is normal. The car estimates for aggressive driving and will tell you how much gas you potentially have left. Thus, the gas gauge seems more like a "miles remaining" gauge.

 

are u sure , well is ther any confirmation on this recall anyways ?

 

when i got my car fixed they said it was a recall not a TSB but service managers have known to be wrong.

 

yeah same problem

 

out of warranty i hate this gas gauge thing it blows.. always shows im on empty at 1/4 full then sometimes jumps back to 1/4 its retarded

 

i always fill my fuel tank to FULL it is about 70ltrs full tank - i can see petrol coming out almost of fuel filler hole i know its of course full.

however the fuel needle never ever goes ALL the way to F. it sits a bit under. is this normal?

 

I just had mine into the dealership for this.. They did the service bulletin and its working great now.

 

which bulletin or a link ??
