Dmax affair 12-23-2003, 09:30 PM <DIV>My fuel gage can be quirky to say the least! I've run that thing into the red and I have never gotten the low level light! On occasion I've put 95 liters in a 98 liter tank.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Ermm.gif Do you think there might be a problem??</DIV> captainmal 12-23-2003, 10:20 PM Dmax affair, My short box Duramax had a fuel gauge like yours. When It read 1/4 tank there was only 5 gallons in it. Darn near ran out a couple of times until I learned the gauge and put extra fuel tanks in it. GM fuel gauges show about 2/3rds a tank when there is really a half. Common and you just have to "learn" the gauge. John R 12-23-2003, 10:39 PM Mine must be pretty accurate, when it is on half I can get around 12-13 gallons in. My truck is supposed to have A 26 gallon tank. rdixon 12-24-2003, 06:17 AM The fuel guages have been wierd for years. I get @300 miles to where the guage says half full, then about 100 miles for the second half of tank (26 gal tank). I've been trying to save a little bit of extra cash every now and then to get a Transfer Flow tank (45 gal). The 26 gal OEM is a hassle when I'm towing because I don't get very far in between fillups. The wife and dog like the small tank though because they get to stretch more often...http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Geek.gif... gottago 12-24-2003, 06:51 AM Go with the Transferflow 45 gallon tank, I average about 600-650 miles between fillups. You won't regret spending the extra $ for it. Be sure to get larger fill neck and vent kit so you can use the "Big Truck" pumps. Happy Holiday's To All! JMPDMax 12-24-2003, 09:51 AM Mine appears to be dead on. Just the other day I had just under 1/8 tank left and pumped in 23.5 gallons. I suppose 'E' on my gage would really be empty, no reserve.
