Default Hmmm... weird problem here don't know where the problem is... When filling up at the tank

I would normally put around 11- 12 gal. in the tank.

Lately I have been putting that in, but it will overflow. When I hop in the car it says I have less than a full tank. This has happened the last four fillups... anyone have this before?

Where is the problem besides user error...?

Default broken gas pump (not your car ) and your level sender is screwed..STFA for the fix.

but make sure it's not just the pump..so try another place with newer /better pumps.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/elec77.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/tech/elec77.shtml</a</li></ul>

the pumps have a shutoff to prevent that (fire hazard). There's something wrong with them.

I replaced my sender and it doesn't go full when I put enough in to fill the tank full.
