I feel stupid and I really must be. Until Bill posted his pic, I just realized "TILL EMPTY" showing. I never use that function on my car so really I'm not used to seeing it. Last time I used it, it said 9 miles to empty and it ran out of gas. I have no faith in what that thing says. Something is wrong with my sending unit or float or something so it's not that I'm saying all of your cars are showing wrong, it's mine that I don't trust. I have a spare tank in the garage with a good fuel pump, sending unit, float and everything. When I drop the exhaust to do the transmission, I'm also going to do the fuel tank too. I can't fill mine up or it will leak from the top of the tank. Someone before me put the pump in wrong or it didn't lock in place in the ring right. I took it to the Lincoln shop and they said I needed a new fuel pump, tank, fuel neck and it would be around $1300.00. So, I have gotten myself used to only getting up to 7 gallons of gas at a time, mind you, I don't drive the car very far at all. I put the message center on how many gallons I have used and it is pretty much dead on. I also can't go by my gas gauge either. It will show gas that I don't have.
So to KK and to bryantaylor, I'm very sorry for not paying attention a little better. Poor ole KK was trying his best to kick it in my head wtf was going on. Ok, now I know and feel dumb as H E L L.
I filled my car up the 2nd day after I got it and my son was inside the car. I went in to pay and a man come inside and said I was leaking gas. I looked out at the car and the entire underside was soaked. I ran out and got my son out of the car because anything could have happened. I wouldn't go near it and made my dad come get it and drive it back home. Me and my son drove behind him in his truck. It was only a mile or two from home. This was in 2005 but again, I am used to getting 5 to 7 gallons at a time now and I reset the message center that tells me how many gallons have been used. <----Got that? That's why when I look at something like the pics that have been posted here, It's just automatic for me to see it as what's been used lol. I'll have it fixed soon and btw, the fuel pump that was bad in 2005 according to Lincoln is still pumping till this day and I only run 93, nothing lower. Sorry for the upper stupidity guys.
