There is what Furd used to call an anti-slosh module that processes the fuel sender reading and averages the output to the gauge. If you fuel up when engine running, the anti-slosh module constantly samples the fuel level, averaging the output to the gauge, which causes the gauge to slowly rise. Shut engine off next time you fuel up and this phenomenon should go away as the first level sample taken will be with a full tank varty yo 02-01-2008, 04:08 PM i sure did fuel when it was running. thanks for the info.

It eventually stopped being slow and showed full by the time I got back into the truck.
