Low Fuel Light??
Hey Everyone,
I put 25 bucks worth of fuel in my truck yesterday, and after driving a mile away from the gas station, I got the low fuel light.
I did add some diesel additive to prevent gelling, would that have anything to do with it?

correct it you fill under those conditions.
It's the PCM not reacting to fuel sloshing on uneven surfaces
and speed changes.

Thanks for the reply guys.
The weird part was the truck was not running when I put gas in it. Drove it about 20 miles away and realized that I had forgotten to put in additive. I stopped, put it in, and also put in about 5 bucks of diesel just to mix it. The low fuel late came on about 20 minutes later a nearly half a tank.
I put in another 20 bucks today and the light went off. No idea.
