What a ridiculous problem. Is it just us? I imagine its got to be a more common problem. They should know what to do!

 

i'm taking my car back to infiniti to fix that and other things i'm just trying to get EVERYTHING done b4 my warranty is over. its tiring to go to da stealership everyweek...

 

how many miles to a tank are you getting? Does the low fuel indicator come on or are you only going until the needle gets low? Cars have a reserve amount of gas left in the tank when your "E" light goes on although 7 gallons does seem like quite a bit.

I'm having the ol' showing half over 3/4 full when I'm completely full. I fill when I get down to a 1/4 tank and I'm putting in 13 gallons. I threw some techron in a few weeks ago and it definitely helped. The gauge wasn't going over 3/4 tank before that.

Honestly this problem isn't something I'm very concerned with. Car runs, everything else works fine.. not gonna bother me if the tank reads 7/8 full. Then again, I'm not under warrantee anymore so as far as putting out the $500 (estimate from the dealer to replace both fuel sender units), no thanks.

 

Yeah, you're probably right. But, I've heard of it getting worse and that scares me. Also driving cross-country, like I'm doing next month, is going to be a hassle if I only get 200 miles out of a tank of gas.

 

iam getting mine 260 miles, i was running 360 miles now i lost 100 miles why ???

 

My car has been at the dealership for the last 3 days to fix this issue. I told my service advisor about the TSB on the shutter valve and he knew what I was talking about but he said it was a rare issue and he had only seen 3 cars affected by it, but he told me he's ordering parts and I'd have my car back Monday. I guess we'll see. I have an 06 Coupe btw

 

ask ur service advisor what it was. cuz i just had da shutter valve replaced and i still have da same problem. don't let them b.s. you! ask them exactly what parts were replaced. cuz this service advisor at infiniti i go to try to do that to me lol anywayz i'm taking my car in tommorow AGAIN hopefully they will fix it this time

 

i also have the same problem.. i have an 04 and im not under warranty anymore so there is no way im wasting money at infiniti unless i know what the problem is 100%. im thinking it could be a gauge problem. the gauge is telling us the car is almost empty and when we will it the tank isnt actually empty its just the gauge saying its empty. its just a theory i have to figure out how to check my theory now haha

 

Well the only way to check that theory would be to fill it up, reset the trip on your odometer and then drive until you run out of gas. Then fill it back up. Now you know how many gallons your tank holds (it should be 20) and what kind of gas milage you are getting.

 

well with the turbo before i got the utec which is going in now i was gettin like almost 250 til the light came on from full and when the light was on it would only take 13 gallons

 

I do mostly highway driving, albeit at around 70-80 mph, and I get around 350 gallons before the low fuel light comes on. When I fill up I usually take in 15 gallons, but does not go all the way to the full line.

I have 2004 coupe, no mods currently using my 17's (winter rims/tires)

 

i have alot holes in my exhaust i have to replace it new 1 i will go back to normal again check ur exhaust , what type of oil changed u guys been using ??

 

whats muffer???

 

sorry my bad check ur exhaust i meant sorry i was half sleep

 

whats exhaust gotta do with not able to fill up the gas tank all da way?
