2002 Excursion Fuel Guage mis-reading
A friend of mine (owns an operating cattle ranch) and his Excursion is have fuel guage problems. The X ran out of gas, even though the fuel guage was reading at 1/4 level. If your ready for this, the dealership reported back, after receiving (allegadly) a response from "Ford", that the problem was the "slushing" of the fuel in the tank.
Has anyone heard of such a failure, resulting in the guage reading a feul level, but actually running out of gas.

My Excursion is exactly the opposite. After driving 200 miles it reads 1/4 full. But I know damn well there's still 20 gallons in the tank rather than 10 or 11.
I think when I get to empty I will still have 8 to 10 gallons in the tank. But I will probably never let it get below 1/4 tank anyway.
