Fuel Sending Unit

Noticed my truck staying on full all week.
Filled up this morning with 20 gals.

Anyone else have the tank sending unit go bad? Gauge still resets to zero when off, then back to full when I key the ignition.

Fuel gauges on these things really are bad. I had an 86 that I bought new in 85 just before I got my F250. Gas gauge on that one wasn't worth squat either.

Sending Unit Replaced

Dealer replaced the sending unit last week @ 15K Miles. Told me that the fuel in NM, TX, CO, AK, LA, MS all have excessive sulpher in the #2. And it is cooriding the sending unit. Said it will happen again, and Ford is looking for a perminant fix. ??????????
