Now that the weather is colder, I've noticed that it takes my fuel guage a few miles to catch up after re-fueling. On my other vehicles, I can watch the guage move while filling the tank, and used to be able to do it on my DMAX until the last few months. The guage eventually gets to the "F" mark, but it sure takes its time. Anyone else notice this on theirs?

Mackin is right on. When I idle and fill up, the fuel gauge will take a while to reach full. Stop the engine and fill up and when you start it back up the gauge will go to full.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif
