Fuel Gauge reading empty when full

Happy New Year!
To start off this year's blogging I've chosen an issue we have dealt with a number of times...faulty fuel gauges. It has to be annoying to constantly gauge how much gas you have left in the tank...worrying that you might run out of gas at any moment. You finally get around to getting the issue looked at. Well it's not as simple as running the codes and telling you what failed. The technician has to drain the gas (you'll get it back), bring down the tank and test both fuel level sending units. That will cost you 2 hours diagnosis. One of the sensors can be replaced. That'll run you an additional few hundred dollars installed. The other cannot. You would have to purchase a new gas tank. I don't mean to end off in such a somber note but an informed customer is a happier customer.
