2014 Deluxe Fuel Tank

[mvk24_imp]

Yes the fuel gauge seems to be less accurate as it gets lower. Think I've seen on here that it seems to have to do with the shape of the tank.

I have been loaded up on the interstate in Maine and my fuel light light was on for like 50 miles before I could find a gas station that was open I could not believe I didn't run out of gas.

I think I went around 175 or 180 miles on that tank and I was fairly loaded up with camping gear.

I hate how when the fuel light comes on it starts counting down "miles remaining" but jumps from like 55 miles left to 40 to dashes, etc. and I have no option to look at anything else on the mileage data.


I rather fill my tank, ride in a straight line until I actually run out (bring spare fuel bottle). And mark that mileage. So that I will always know I can go "xxx" amount of miles give or take to empty and just disregard the fuel light on touring trips.

With some of my older trucks the fuel level senders would start acting up but I always knew I should get about 200 miles to a tank for instance before I need to fill up. So I knew the mileage was more accurate than the fuel gauge.
