I think there might be something off with my fuel gauge. It won't read full, closest it comes is a quarter tank and the E light comes on early it seems. I used to get the light with 3 gallons left and now it seems like it's 5-6 in the tank when the light comes on. Has this happened to anyone else?

 

I noticed my G did something similar to that the other day. i was at 1/4 tank, my fuel light went on. then it went off and i kept going. the i drove my car a few hours later and i had barely any gas in my car and the fuel light did not go on.

 

I had a similar problem. I took my car in for service because the gauge would only read 3/4 to 7/8 of a tank, it never read full. Plus, when it was just below 1/4 a tank, it would only take 13 gallons of gas, not the 15-16 I had come to expect after over a year of ownership. Infiniti replaced the gas gauge sending unit and everything’s fine now.

Good to hear I'll add that the the repair list when I take it in.

 

To this day my gas gauge needle will not go past the top line on my gauge. The other day I had a loaner and it was past the mark on the gauge.

But It seems to be accurate, the Low fuel light goes on when I have about 4-5 gallons left.

They just replaced the gas guage sending unit on my car yesterday and the problem is fixed.

GR8TG35, the longer version of my story is that my gauge read exactly like yours for the first year that I owned my car. Basically the car never read full, but the math worked when I filled my car up, so I didn’t worry about it. Then about 6 months ago something changed and my gauge wouldn’t even fill up to 7/8 full I had come to expect and instead of putting 15gal in when it was just under ¼ full, it would shut off around 13 gal. That’s when I decided that something was wrong and I took it in--just a heads up in case that happens to you.

mine read just a hair below full.
they replaced the sender

 

I noticed the same thing..It actually started when I starting using Shell Gas - I went back to Mobil and the problem seems to have rectified itself.

 

hmm..i am having the same problem with shell gas too...i wonder if shell can't fill the tank all the way up.....?

Just last week I noticed mine doing the same thing after filling up at a Shell. It repeated he short fill about 2hrs ago at a Circle K, but I don't know what gas that one was pumping for sure. Might be Conoco Phillips. I'm due in for service next week, I'll add this to the list.

 

Weird. I had the same problem with the gague only reading ~7/8 when full, but I always filled up at BP. I also experienced the darn car not wanting to allow me to pump gas. The pump would keep shutting off at about 1/2 of a tank. I tried waiting for 1 minute, turning the handle upside down, waiting some more, pulling the handle out slightly, and finally I gave up. Went to Shell and filled up (directly across the street). Since this time I've switched to Shell and now the gage goes past the F mark and stays there for ~25-30 miles before dropping down to the line. I haven't experienced the filling problem either.

BTW, I live in FL. Shell gasoline might be different down here. Only 93 octane goes in my G...
