Condition
Some owners may comment that the fuel gauge indicates empty after only going 200 to 250 miles, and they are only able to put approximately 23 gallons
or less of fuel in the 30 gallon tank.
Cause
The Fuel Level Indication System was designed with excessive empty reserve. The Fuel Level Sender will be labeled with Broadcast code "TCB", (see
Figure 1). Vehicles built after December 14, 1996, have the revised Float Arm Assembly.
