Gas Gauge Issues


Kharhaz

Question

Hey guys.

 

I have an issue with my gas gauge.

 

2013 Silverado 5.3L.. I was rear ended.. which caused the issue.

 

The pump assembly was replaced. Yet the gas gauge is still off

 

It basically thinks full is a quarter away from F.

 

Been doing lots of searches.. not finding much other than replacing the pump assembly, which was already done. Unless the gauge cluster is an issue?

 

Any ideas?

Make sure the fuel tank is still the same physical shape it was before the accident first, then verify the ground connections for the sending unit.

 

Did the insurance company fix the truck for you? If so, did you take it back to the place that did the work and tell them that the fuel gauge reading is not the same as it was pre-accident? Every new replacement part you buy has a warranty for a reason. Sometimes the parts can be defective. If it never happened, there would not be a reason for a warranty.

They did, everything else is spot on.

 

I'm having them check it out, I was merely curious as to why this would happen.

 

The gas tank has not changed shape. No warping or dents. Unless something on the inside has changed.

 

Unless they changed the pump, but did not change the fuel level sensor.

 

 

Edit: Thanks for responding, by the way. :)
