Hi,
New here and looking for some advise. My 2006 2500HD D/A was running fine this past weekend. I parked it in my driveway on Saturday. I moved it to my side driveway on Sunday, took about 5 minutes of running. Shut it off and came back a few minutes later to restart it. It would start very easy, and run for about 2 seconds then die. I could restart it again and it would die again after a couple of seconds. I noticed that the fuel gauge read empty and the empty light was on. I tried to add a few gallons of fuel and after about 4 gallons the filler neck was filled to overflow. I thought that I had a full tank, but thought someone may have stolen my diesel after a fillup so that is why I tried to add more. I have driven the truck about 3 miles since filling. I am certain that I filled with diesel because the hose was leaking a little and I had to report it to the dealer. I also had about a quarter of a tank at fillup so that I was no where near running out. I still have about 20% life available on the fuel Filter.
I also called the fuel station to see if anyone had reported fuel problems. They had not and station said there was no shortage of diesel in their tanks.
Now I dont know if the light is supposed to be on and the gauge showing empty until the truck starts, or if it should have shown a full tank when ignition is in the run position.
Can anyone offer some advise ?
