do you have an aux tank in the bed? if you do the computer gets confused and will read empty. usually as soon as its empty the gauge will go back to reading normal again.

Mine returns to the correct reading as soon as the aux tank is dead.
which is all you need...

In my opinion, when you fill the tank to max-- the float goes over the normal range and shorts to ground, which causes the gauge to go to zero and the fuel light to come on.
Yep, my Aero tank does the same thing, but I don't think a new sender will fix the problem-- and I am not pulling the tank or removing the bed to try. Just one of those things I will live with. :D
Of course you can regulate the fuel and make sure it never goes to the max when filling. :eek:
