When I filled my gas tank a few days ago the fuel tank dial registered full. After driving some distances the dial is still showing full. Is there a way to correct this?
I'm not a car expect, but in my opinion that depends on your car. How much you drove, and what speeds you drove in.
For example, if you're driving a Hyundai Getz (VERY COSTLY IN GAS), and you drove 60 kms in the city, you need to refill the tank because its half empty already.
If you drove a Nissan (More economic in gas) in the city, for the same length, the tank of gas will show full, because you didnt spend much.
If you drove the same Nissan out of the city, meaning in higher speeds, the tank of gas may still show full after you drove 100 kms (i dont know if you calculate in miles, multiply kms by 1.5)
So your question has a lot of variables, it may not be the problem of your gas guage
If you drove enough to know for sure that the indicator should go down, i suggest asking a mechanic ;)
You can drop the gas tank yourself and replace the sending unit or take your car to a shop of your choice and have them replace it for you. If the car is under warranty, take it back the dealer. Take it to a shop, if the sending unit fails, its under warranty.
