F-150 TRUCK PROBLEM
Sent to Car Experts January 27 07:31 PM

MY 1996 F150 TRUCK HAS DUEL TANKS. bOTH WORK BUT RECENTLY ONLY THE FRONT TANK REGISTERS A FUEL LEVEL ON THE GUAGE. WHEN SWITCHED TO THE REAR TANK, THE TRUCK STILL RUNS FINE BUT THE GUAGE GOES TO EMPTY EVEN IF I PUT GAS IN IT. THE FUSE LOOKS FINE AS FAR AS I CAN SEE. WHAT IS WRONG?

 It's probably a bad sending unit (float) in that tank. Just be sure the wire isn't broken going back there.
