Default Cold weather+ its a TT = fuel gauge woes??

Hi all. I noticed the weekend before last during the cold snap after I filled the car up that the fuel gauge was reading way above full and stayed stuck in the full position way longer than normal. Thought that maybe it had to do with frozen condensation in the tank and on the sensor was messing things up. When it indicated a quarter tank Wednesday, the fuel warning light came on and judging from the miles it was time to fill up. Filled up and added a bottle of Techron. Hope it solves it. Any other possible "fixes"?

Default My car did the same

I took it to the dealer, they ran a diagnostic and wouldn't tell me exactly what they intend to replace. But it was a special order part - either the cluster or the senders in the tank.

Now, a week later the gauge is working fine (no Techron), but I'm still going to let them fix it next week since I'm CPO. I'll let you know what part they replace.
