Instruments - Fuel Gauge Won't Read Full After Refueling
Bulletin No.: 09-044/09
Last Issue: 08/07/2009
Subject:
FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT INDICATE FULL JUST AFTER REFUELING
APPLICABLE MODEL(S) / VINS
2009 MAZDA6
DESCRIPTION
On some vehicles, the fuel gauge does not indicate full (F) after refueling. This is especially true when only a small amount of fuel is added to the fuel
tank while the fuel gauge is near "F".
When the fuel tank is nearly full, the fuel gauge specification is designed so that if a small amount of fuel is added (less than 1.3 gallons), it does not
register.
