So i've got a '94 f150 4x4 with the dual tanks. My I don't drive that many miles, so I typically rotate the tanks vs. filling both up amd then going a month between fill ups.
Anywho, I filled up the mid ship tank the other day and the gauge went straight to E, which is not where I left it when I switched to the rear tank. I usually refuel at 3/4 tank. Anyway, after about a day of driving the full tank on E, the gauge finally crept back up to full. Turn the truck off, sat over night, back to E in the morning. When I backed into my work parking spot this morning, I kinda bumped the curb stop pretty good and the gauge breifly shot up to 1/4 and then dropped to E.
I checked and cleaned the pig tail connection. Is this a "normal" flaw? I'm wondering if there is a weird short somewhere and it's functioning backwards.... I guess I'll find out as I burn through this tank...
Gauge works normally when I switch to rear, and no amount of flipping back and forth fixes it haha
Any thoughts?
