Problem with fill up

RE: Problem with fill up
this is the way GM designed the gauge to work. I recently posted why they did this but to make a long story short it is normal for it to be on E after around 14-15gal.

im guessing so the pump assembly doesnt run bone dry and suck up sediment

also stop filling up after the first click
forcing more gas in the tank pushes gas and gas vapor up the evaporation lines into the charcoal canister which can ruin it and your evaporation control purge sending unit ....$
don't ask me how i know! lol!

RE: Problem with fill up
I beleive the sending unit is a part of the pump, not entirely sure though. I had mine replaced in apil 08, i cant run my car without knowing my tank level. I really would hate to run out gas in the freezing cold or anywhere for that matter. lolol, i try to keep my tank from going below 1/4 or so. keep my fuel pump submerged.

I just signed up with my 93 S-Blazer and I see no links or info about an owners manual.

To fix the inaccurate gas gauge, replaced the fuel leveling sensor. We get trucks in all the time for this at work. What happens is the tabs that run along the variable resistor break off so they only touch sometimes. Giving you the inaccurate reading. Mine was broken when i bought the truck, when i put my new tank in i put a new sensor in and blamo she works like a charm.
