Slow fuel gauge
#1
#2
If I add fuel without first switching the ignition off (let the truck run) the gauge moves up very slowly or very little. My gauge has never taken more than five or ten minutes to get accurate. If I do turn the ignition off before adding fuel the gauge is accurate as soon as I switch the ignition on. Strange that it took so long for yours. Just curious, has the gauge dropped accordingly to fuel consumption?

Mine does and has always done the same thing.
I always write down my mileage when filling up...if I don't get the key "off" before it hits somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4 full gallon wise...and the key is in the "ACC" position or truck is running...it takes a long time for the gauge to reach "full"...and mine "creeps" like the OP's does if it gets hung up lower than it should.

I have that issue with the X and HAD that issue with my explorer. I gave it 3 separate treatments of Chevron Techron, and the issue disappeared in the explorer. I wonder if the same results can be had with the X....
