Here’s a fuel pump we pulled out today the float wasn’t reading the fuel level correctly because the support rods inside the pump assembly broke off. When that structure fails, the float can’t move the way it’s supposed to, so your gauge gives you bad readings… which means you can think you have half a tank when you’re really running on fumes. Not fun.
If your fuel gauge has been acting weird, dropping suddenly, or never reading full, it might be an issue just like this. Bring it by 4J and we’ll take a look before it leaves you stranded.
